Understanding Your Results

Results are reported as positive or negative for each Aspergillus species. A positive result indicates the presence of RNA from that species, suggesting active infection.
Positive for one or more species: Indicates Aspergillus infection; correlate with clinical findings.
Negative for all species: Aspergillus infection unlikely, but consider other causes if symptoms persist.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of respiratory infection or have a positive result, consult your doctor for appropriate treatment.

Limitations

  • May not detect all Aspergillus species
  • False negatives possible in early infection
  • Qualitative only, not quantitative

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from sample collection, such as bruising or infection at the site.

Interfering Factors

  • Contamination during sample collection
  • Improper sample storage
  • Presence of inhibitors in the sample

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Fungal Aspergillus Multiplex Detection test?
It is a qualitative RNA detection test using real-time PCR to identify and differentiate multiple Aspergillus species for diagnosing Aspergillosis.
How is the test performed?
The test uses real-time PCR on clinical samples like blood, BAL, or tissue biopsy to detect Aspergillus RNA.
What samples are required for this test?
Samples include blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), fresh tissue biopsy, skin biopsy, respiratory secretions, and other tissue specimens.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 4 working days, with reports delivered via email, online portal, or WhatsApp.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of RNA from one or more Aspergillus species, suggesting active infection and requiring clinical correlation.
What does a negative result mean?
A negative result means no Aspergillus RNA was detected, making infection unlikely, but other causes should be considered if symptoms persist.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for this test.
Can this test detect all types of Aspergillus?
It detects specific species including Eurotiales Aspergillus, A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. flavus & orzae, A. nidulans, and A. terrus, but may not cover all variants.
What are the symptoms of Aspergillosis?
Symptoms include cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, fever, chest pain, and in severe cases, coughing up blood or organ failure.
How accurate is this test?
The test is highly sensitive and specific due to real-time PCR, but accuracy depends on proper sample collection and handling.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings in many cities across India.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 14450, which includes the test and result interpretation by a medical professional.
