Beta-D-Glucan Level by Protease Zymogen Colorimetry

Description

This advanced test measures the levels of beta-D-glucan, a component found in the cell walls of various fungi. It’s particularly useful for detecting invasive fungal infections, which can be life-threatening in immunocompromised patients. The test uses protease zymogen colorimetry, a sensitive method for quantifying beta-D-glucan levels. Results help in early diagnosis and monitoring of fungal infections, allowing for timely and appropriate antifungal therapy.
