There are many on here who know blood tests well. So I was wondering if any of you know if there is a blood tests that shows systemic fungal infection? I googled it but couldn't find my answer.

I know there is a blood test for candida. They can also do a stool culture and if it is systemic it will show up in your stool. D

There really is no proper testing for systemic candida. You can try a spit test, but really the the diagnosis is clinic.
Most, if not all dr's do not recognize candida.

Best bet is to see an ND (Medical Natural Doctor)

The test for Candida is done by Doctors Data is called Mycology Culture. It WILL tell you if you have systemic candida.    D

Actually I was more interested in other fungal infections than candidia. I was reading that those with aids and compromised immune systems can get fungal infections in bones, spinal cord, joints, etc. I think those with lyme and co-inf. can fit in this immune category and was interested in how this was tested for.
