Background
Histoplasmosis is a systemic infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Rapid diagnosis is important for early initiation of treatment in progressive disseminated and acute pulmonary histoplasmosis cases. Antigen detection has been proven useful for rapid diagnosis.
Development
We have developed an easy-to-use immunochromatographic lateral flow assay (LFA) for the visual detection of Histoplasma galactomannan antigen in urine.
The MiraVista Histoplasma Urine Antigen LFA test can aid in the diagnosis of Histoplasma infection.
Performance
The MiraVista Histoplasma Urine Antigen LFA has a proven clinical sensitivity of 93.18% and 96.97%
