Description
Candida albicans is part of the normal intestinal microflora; however, in some cases, increased growth of these microorganisms leads to imbalance and the development of candidiasis. Microorganisms or cytoplasmic antigens of C. albicans stimulate the development of an immune response, resulting in the production of specific antibodies to Candida albicans antigens. Increased growth of Candida on the surface of mucous membranes leads to the synthesis of specific IgA class antibodies. Detection of IgA immunoglobulins to fungi of the genus Candida can be used for the diagnosis of candidiasis of various etiologies in conjunction with microbiological diagnostics and taking into account the clinical symptoms of the disease.
