The Efficacy of T2 Magnetic Resonance Assay in Monitoring Candidemia after the Initiation of Antifungal Therapy: The Serial Therapeutic and Antifungal Monitoring Protocol (STAMP) trial
This study demonstrates that the T2Candida Panel can detect the ongoing presence of a Candida infection while blood culture often yields false negative test results because the administration of antifungal drugs can impede the growth of cells that blood culture requires to detect an infection. The authors conclude that the T2Candida Panel can be an effective tool for reliably identifying patients that have cleared an infection, which can reduce the unnecessary and expensive antifungal therapy
