CYPTOCOCCAL ANTIGEN

Hypro Diagnostics offers a vital tool in healthcare—the Cryptococcal Antigen Test, instrumental in identifying Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungal agent known for severe infections affecting the lungs and brain. This infection presents diverse symptoms: fever, persistent headaches, fatigue, neck stiffness, and sensitivity to light. By analyzing blood or cerebrospinal fluid, our test detects the fungus, aiding in swift identification. Inhalation of soil or dust particles is the primary mode of transmission, leading to systemic dissemination. When it reaches the brain, Cryptococcal meningitis emerges, intensifying the condition’s severity. Timely detection through our diagnostic test is crucial for early intervention, ensuring prompt treatment and containment of this potentially life-threatening fungal infection.
