Understanding antibody levels in a blood test for fungal infection

Following an Anti-Candida Antibodies, or Candida Immune Complexes Blood test. There are 3 antibodies that should be tested to measure your immune system’s response to Candida – IgG, IgA, and IgM. High levels of these antibodies indicate that an overgrowth of Candida is present. The following table explains the results for a Candida Antibodies test.

Candida Antibody IgG
0.89 EV or less Negative – No significant level of detectable Candida albicans antibody.
0.90-0.99 EV Equivocal – Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.00 EV or greater Positive – Antibody to Candida albicans detected. Indicates Candida Infection. CCWS Recommended

Candida Antibody IgM
0.89 EV or less Negative – No significant level of detectable Candida albicans antibody.
0.90-0.99 EV Equivocal – Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.00 EV or greater Positive – Antibody to Candida albicans detected. Indicates Candida Infection. CCWS Recommended

Candida Antibody IgA
0.89 EV or less Negative – No significant level of detectable Candida albicans antibody.
0.90-0.99 EV Equivocal – Questionable presence of antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.00 EV or greater Positive – Antibody to Candida albicans detected. Indicates Candida Infection. CCWS Recommended

IgM is produced when Candida first becomes systemic, like a first response
IgG is produced when Candida is present for a long time.
So you can get high IgM low IgG – that means new infection.
High IgG and high IgM = new Candida being produced in a long term systemic infection
Low IgM and high IgG = no new Candida infection but a long standing current infection
Remember the test looks at all species of Candida
That’s why it can give these variables

    Thanks for the information on Candida. I assume the above is also applicable to Candidiasis? Is this Candida Immune Complexes Blood test the ELISA test?

    Hi, what does EV mean? My blood test results are in g/L.

    Can you please explain what EV means? The reference ranges on my lab tests are given in U/mL. How do I compare these results to your table?

    and IgA antibodies explanation please? For example IgG borderline, IgM low negative and IgA “weakly” positive? Thank you..

    I got tested at the VA they don’t treat for it. I tested Candida igG <30
    Candida igM <10
    and Candida igA <10
    Trying to find out what these results mean and if Candida is my issue. They again don't treat or medicate for it because they do not have nautrpathic medicine.Any help understanding this would help this Veteran out.
