Candida Galbrata BY PCR

The Candida Galbrata BY PCR test is a molecular diagnostic assay that detects Candida glabrata DNA in urogenital or other relevant clinical samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). By amplifying species-specific genetic material, the test offers high sensitivity and specificity compared with microscopy or culture, enabling rapid and accurate identification of C. glabrata presence.

This test is particularly important because Candida glabrata frequently shows reduced susceptibility to common azole antifungals; species-level identification helps clinicians choose appropriate therapy. The service includes discreet home sample collection in Dubai, fast lab‑certified reporting, and recommendations to consult a physician for treatment decisions and further management.

• Candida glabrata DNA (PCR detection)
• Species differentiation (C. glabrata vs other Candida spp.)
• Semi-quantitative pathogen load (when applicable)
• Sample quality/control marker

• Recurrent or persistent vulvovaginal candidiasis despite treatment
• Unusual or treatment-resistant urinary tract or genital symptoms
• Severe symptoms in immunocompromised individuals (e.g., diabetes, chemotherapy)
• When microscopy or culture results are inconclusive
• Prior to selecting antifungal therapy after treatment failure

• High sensitivity and specificity for Candida glabrata identification
• Rapid, lab‑certified results to guide timely treatment
• Discreet at‑home sample collection across Dubai
• Species-level diagnosis to support targeted antifungal choices
• Useful for recurrent infections and cases with prior treatment failure

• Discreet home swab or urine sample collection as instructed by the phlebotomist
• Avoid vaginal douching, intravaginal treatments or sexual intercourse for 48 hours before sampling
• If possible, refrain from topical or systemic antifungal medication for 72 hours prior (consult your physician first)
• Available for adults (18+) in Dubai; ensure government ID and appointment details for at‑home collection
