Chronic Candida infection is a persistent fungal condition that causes recurring symptoms throughout the body. It is caused by overgrowth of Candida albicans, a yeast that naturally lives in the body but can become pathogenic when the immune system is compromised or gut flora is imbalanced. The Candida albicans Ab (IgG, IgA, IgM) test is the most important test for diagnosis because it detects specific antibodies that indicate chronic or ongoing fungal exposure.

Chronic Candida infection is caused by overgrowth of Candida albicans, a type of yeast that normally lives in the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina without causing problems. When your immune system becomes weakened, you take antibiotics that kill beneficial bacteria, or your gut flora becomes imbalanced, Candida can multiply excessively and spread throughout the body. Other contributing factors include high-sugar diets, prolonged stress, diabetes, hormonal changes, and use of immunosuppressant medications or corticosteroids.
The Candida albicans Ab (IgG, IgA, IgM) test is the most important test for chronic Candida infection because it measures three distinct antibody types that reveal different stages of infection. Elevated IgG antibodies indicate chronic or past exposure to Candida, IgA antibodies suggest mucosal involvement in areas like the gut or vaginal tract, and IgM antibodies point to recent or acute infection. This comprehensive antibody profile helps your doctor understand whether you have an active ongoing infection, past exposure, or both, which is crucial for determining the right treatment approach.
You should get tested if you experience persistent fatigue that does not improve with rest, recurring yeast infections or thrush, digestive issues like bloating and irregular bowel movements, brain fog and difficulty concentrating, or unexplained skin rashes and itching. Testing is especially important if you have recently completed a course of antibiotics, have a weakened immune system, or if your symptoms have not responded to conventional treatments and you suspect an underlying fungal infection.
