Limitations
The result is not intended to be used as the sole means for clinical diagnosis or patient management decisions.

- Sputolysin, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide treatment degrade the analyte detected in the assay.
Reference Range
None detected
Clinical Significance
The MVista® coccidioides quantitative antigen test aids in the diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis. Monitoring the coccidioidomycosis helps determine when treatment can be stopped and to diagnose relapse.
