Candifast

At the IntroLab laboratory, located in the heart of Belgrade, we are proud to offer one of the most advanced tests in mycology — the Candifast test. This analysis allows for the quick and accurate detection of Candida presence and determines its sensitivity to antifungals. Below, we provide all the essential information about this test to help you make an informed decision before proceeding.

What is mycology?

Mycology is a branch of biology that studies fungi. In a medical context, it focuses on pathogenic fungi that can cause various infections in humans. One of the most common causes of these infections is Candida, making it crucial to have a reliable method for its detection.

Why choose the Candifast test?

The “Candifast” test is not just an ordinary analysis. It represents a revolutionary approach to Candida detection. In addition to identifying the presence of Candida, this test also provides information about the detected Candida’s sensitivity to different antifungals. This is crucial for doctors as it helps them prescribe the most effective treatment for the patient.

How is the analysis performed?

The procedure is simple and painless. A sample is taken from the affected area, whether it’s skin, nails, or mucous membranes. After that, the sample undergoes a detailed analysis. Thanks to modern technology and a skilled team, results are available within a very short time frame, typically 2-4 days.

Who should consider the Candifast test?

Anyone who suspects a Candida infection should consider this test. Symptoms of infection can vary, including:

• Itching
• Redness
• Burning sensation
• White discharge

If you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend consulting a doctor, who may advise you to undergo the Candifast test.
