Update of laboratory medicine procedures related to the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis - INAHTA Brief

Following the assessment request made by the Caisse nationale d’assurance maladie des travailleurs salariés (CNAMTS [National Health Insurance fund for salaried workers]) for review of procedures listed in the Nomenclature of Procedures in Laboratory Medicine (NABM), this work focused on assessing the proposed changes to the wording for laboratory diagnosis of candidiasis. This request concerns only screening for anti-Candida serum antibodies and soluble antigens, and does not deal with mycological identification procedures.
