Evaluation of Serum Biomarkers for Improved Diagnosis of Candidemia
Both Wako β-D-glucan test and CandID OLM RT-PCR outperformed CAGTA IgG VirClia Monotest in diagnosing candidemia, and their combination significantly improved diagnostic accuracy, albeit at a higher cost. These findings highlight the potential of integrating multiple biomarkers into diagnostic workflows to optimize early detection, though further studies are needed to refine strategies and address challenges.
