The Fungal Panel is a set of blood tests that looks for signs of a fungal infection in your body. It is sometimes called a fungal antibody panel or fungal serology panel. If your provider ordered this, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
This panel may also be called a systemic fungal panel or a fungal infection screen. It measures things in your blood, such as antibodies, that can suggest exposure to certain fungi. Your doctor uses these results along with your symptoms and exam to see if a fungal infection is likely.
Common reasons: long lasting cough or fever that has no clear cause, lung symptoms after travel or outdoor work, rashes or mouth patches that keep coming back, repeated yeast infections, or low immunity where your provider wants to check for fungal disease. Doctor guidance: testing is one part of the picture and your provider will decide which fungi to check for based on your story and location.
Check in at the front desk and show your order. A phlebotomist cleans a spot on your arm and draws a small tube or two of blood. A bandage is placed and you can leave. Plan for about 15 to 25 minutes at the site.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Recent antifungal medicines can change some results, so tell the team what you are taking.
Food and drink: fasting is usually not needed unless your doctor says so. Medications and creams: bring a list of all medicines and supplements and avoid applying antifungal creams right before any skin sample collection. Hydrate: drink water to help the blood draw. Timing: tell the lab if you recently started or stopped antifungal treatment. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the center and bring prior results if you have them.
Possible lung infections like valley fever, histoplasmosis, or aspergillosis, mouth or throat thrush, persistent skin or nail fungus, invasive candidiasis in people with low immunity, or lingering fever and cough without a clear cause. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your results with your history and symptoms before suggesting next steps.
