Candida albicans Ab.IgG

This test detects IgG antibodies against Candida albicans, a common yeast organism. IgG antibodies indicate past or chronic exposure to Candida, not acute infection. Elevated levels may suggest chronic candidiasis, intestinal overgrowth, or systemic yeast infection, though interpretation is complex and controversial. In healthy people, IgG presence is normal due to environmental exposure. This test is sometimes ordered for suspected chronic yeast infections or immune dysfunction. However, a positive IgG result alone does not diagnose disease—clinical symptoms and additional testing are essential for diagnosis.
