Evaluation of candida precipitin and agglutinin tests for the diagnosis of systemic candidiasis in burn patients.

I A Holder, P J Kozinn and E J Law

ABSTRACT

Candida agglutinin and precipitin tests were performed on a group of burned patients without evidence of systemic candidiasis to determine whether tests could be used to distinguish between colonization and systemic disease, as has recently been reported. There were considerable numbers of false-positive results using both tests. These false-positive results occurred regardless of the candida colonization status of the patient. We conclude that these tests are of little diagnostic value in burn patients.
