A member asked:
Can a simple blood test show if candidemia is present in the blood?

No such thing: Every single living human has Candida in their blood, gut and on their skin. There are blood tests but they are meaningless in diagnosing disease.

The blood: test is not simple it would be a blood culture for fungi. if there is any fungemia it is a slower culture process than checking for a bacteremia so in a nut shell no simple test
