Method Name A short description of the method used to perform the test

Conventional agar culture technique with identification by macroscopic and microscopic morphology, D2 rDNA gene sequencing, real-time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR), or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Dimorphic pathogen identification is confirmed using molecular methods (ie, D2 rDNA gene sequencing, rtPCR or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry).

NY State Available Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
