What does Cryptococcus Antigen Detection, Serum measure?

The Cryptococcus Antigen Detection, Serum test detects the presence of antigens from the capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans or Cryptococcus gattii in blood. These antigens are released during fungal infection and circulate in the body, making them detectable even when fungal cultures may take longer to grow. A positive result usually indicates an active cryptococcal infection and warrants prompt antifungal treatment. A negative result suggests that infection is unlikely, though additional testing may be required if symptoms strongly suggest cryptococcosis. This test is more sensitive than microscopy or culture, especially in detecting early or disseminated infection. Accurate and timely diagnosis can significantly improve treatment outcomes and reduce the risk of life-threatening complications such as cryptococcal meningitis.
