Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation for Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys, Histoplasma (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test

Are you experiencing symptoms of fungal infection such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing? Have you been exposed to environments that are known to harbor fungi such as Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys, and Histoplasma? If yes, then it is important to get yourself tested to know the cause of your symptoms.

DNA Labs India offers a Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation test that can detect and differentiate between three types of fungi - Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys, and Histoplasma. This test uses RNA detection technology to provide accurate and reliable results.

What is RNA detection?

RNA detection is a molecular technique that involves the detection of ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules in a sample. RNA is a molecule that is essential for the functioning of cells and is involved in the process of protein synthesis.

RNA detection can be used to identify and quantify specific RNA molecules in a sample. This technique is commonly used in research and clinical settings to diagnose diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

What is Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation?

Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation is a test that uses RNA detection technology to detect and differentiate between three types of fungi - Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys, and Histoplasma. This test is a qualitative test, which means that it can detect the presence or absence of the fungi in a sample.

The test works by using specific probes that bind to the RNA molecules of the fungi. If the RNA molecules are present in the sample, the probes will bind to them, which will produce a signal that can be detected.

What are the symptoms of Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys, and Histoplasma infections?

The symptoms of fungal infections can vary depending on the type of fungi and the severity of the infection. Some common symptoms of Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys, and Histoplasma infections include:

• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Fatigue
• Night sweats
• Weight loss

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to get yourself tested to know the cause of your symptoms.

How is the Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation test performed?

The Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation test is performed using a sample of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or tissue. The sample is collected by a healthcare professional and sent to the laboratory for testing.

At the laboratory, the sample is processed to extract the RNA molecules. The RNA molecules are then amplified using a technique called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Specific probes are added to the sample that will bind to the RNA molecules of the three fungi - Cryptococcus, Stachybotrys, and Histoplasma. If the RNA molecules are present in the sample, the probes will bind to them, which will produce a signal that can be detected.

What is the cost of the Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation test?

The cost of the Fungal Multiplex Detection and Differentiation test is INR 12750. This test is not covered by insurance and is an out-of-pocket expense.
