Is it for you?

Candida normally lives in the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina without causing any problems. However, candida can multiply and cause infection.

See if high levels of candida IgG, IgA, and IgM are present in your blood, which may be a sign of a current or previous infection.

Candida albicans IgA

Learn more
Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeasts that belong to the genus Candida. There are over 20 species of Candida that can cause infection in humans, the most common being Candida albicans. Candida yeasts normally reside in the intestinal tract and can be found on mucous membranes and skin without causing infection; however, the overgrowth of candida can cause symptoms to develop, which vary depending on the area of the body that is infected. IgA antibodies are associated with mucosal membrane infections.

Candida albicans IgM

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeasts that belong to the genus Candida. There are over 20 species of Candida that can cause infection in humans, the most common being Candida albicans. Candida yeasts normally reside in the intestinal tract and can be found on mucous membranes and skin without causing infection; however, the overgrowth of candida can cause symptoms to develop, which vary depending on the area of the body that is infected. IgM antibodies are involved in the very early stages of an immune response and first to be made by the body when fighting a new infection, providing short-term protection. The presence of IgM antibodies indicates a recent candida infection.

Candida albicans IgG

Learn more
Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeasts that belong to the genus Candida. There are over 20 species of Candida that can cause infection in humans, the most common being Candida albicans. Candida yeasts normally reside in the intestinal tract and can be found on mucous membranes and skin without causing infection; however, the overgrowth of candida can cause symptoms to develop, which vary depending on the area of the body that is infected. IgG antibodies form after IgM antibodies and form the basis of long-term protection against infection. The presence of candida albicans IgG antibodies reflects a past or ongoing candida albicans infection.
