Laboratory testing utilization: Coccidioides immitis/posadasii serologic testing
Explore this microlearning to better understand the diagnosis of Coccidioides infection and the value of an efficient, evidence-based testing approach. Designed for laboratorians and healthcare professionals, this educational offering reviews disease epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and key diagnostic methods, with emphasis on the benefits of using a screening enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with reflex to confirmatory complement fixation and immunodiffusion testing. Learners will gain practical insight into how this algorithm can support faster results for most patients, reduce testing complexity, and optimize laboratory workflow.
