Aids in the diagnosis of histoplasmosis. May also detect blastomycosis and coccidioidomycosis. Testing in conjunction with Histoplasma Antibodies by Complement Fixation and Immunodiffusion (0050627) and Histoplasma Antigen Quantitative by EIA, Serum (0092522) is recommended.
Methodology

Histoplasma capsulatum
histoplasmosis
Reference Interval
Not Detected
Interpretive Data
Less than 0.4 ng/ml = Not Detected 0.4-0.7 ng/mL = Detected (below the limit of quantification) 0.8-24.0 ng/mL = Detected Greater than 24.0 ng/mL = Detected (above the limit of quantification)
The quantitative range of this assay is 0.8-24.0 ng/mL. Antigen concentrations between 0.4-0.7 or >24.0 ng/mL fall outside the linear range of the assay and cannot be accurately quantified.
This EIA test should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures, including microbiological culture, histological examination of biopsy samples, and/or radiographic evidence, to aid in the diagnosis of histoplasmosis.
