(6) For the Cand-Tec, the sensitivity was not related to the presence of antibodies, nor was it related to the number of samples per patient.
(7) The lack of sensitivity and specificity of the Cand-Tec Candida antigen test precludes its use in the diagnosis of disseminated candidiasis.

(12) A positive antigen test preceded other diagnostic indications for 6 of 10 Pastorex-positive patients and 5 of 9 Cand-Tec-positive patients.
(13) CAND-TEC would be useful in detecting Candida infection compared with conventional methods, and the fungus infection was much more frequent incidence than ever expected.
(14) In the gastrointestinal colonization model followed by systemic infection in neutropenic mice, the mannan antigen test became positive after 3 weeks of colonization with increased number of Candida of the stool, and Cand-Tec became positive after 5 weeks in neutropenic mice.
(15) The Cand-tec antigen test shows poor specificity and poor positive predictive value for the detection of systemic candidiasis in burn patients.
(16) The examination of E-TKA may be preclinical diagnosis to CAND.
(17) To differentiate the two cases with transient fungemia from those with systemic candidosis HA- and D-arabinitol tests were considered to be superior to Cand-Tec and F.I.
(18) Detection of serum mannan by enzyme immunoassay was less sensitive but more specific than the Cand-Tec Candida detection system for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis.
