Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Candida Positive patients
Number of Candida Positive patients based on concordant, sequential blood culture results and a positive T2 signal
3-5 days post blood culture
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Number of Candida Negative Patients
3-5 days post blood culture
Study Arms (2)
Candida Positive Patients
Symptomatic adult patients, confirmed via concordant diagnostic blood culture and species identification and subsequent second blood culture results and species identification that are Candida positive
Candida Negative Patients
Hospitalized adult patients, confirmed via concordant diagnostic blood culture with subsequent species identification and subsequent second blood culture with subsequent species identification that are Candida negative
Eligibility Criteria
Adult patients who have undergone a diagnostic blood culture.
You may qualify if:
- Subject or subject's authorized representative must be able to understand, read and sign the study specific informed consent form after the nature of the study has been fully explained to them.
- For Group A,
- Males and females 18 - 95 years of age.
- Subject is confirmed to have fungemia as evidenced by a positive diagnostic blood culture and subsequent species identification.
- For Group B,
- Males and females 18 - 95 years of age.
- Subject is hospitalized with a medical problem other than fungemia, or is being treated as an outpatient for some non-infection-related condition, and
- Subject is confirmed to not have fungemia as evidenced by diagnostic blood culture and subsequent species identification.
You may not qualify if:
- Use of any novel (i.e. not commercially available) drug compound within 30 days prior to the collection of T2 blood specimens.
- Subject has other co-morbid condition(s) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the study or impact the scientific integrity of the study.
