Latex test is popular to detect antigen of which fungus? Correct Answer Cryptococcus neoformans

Latex tests are very popular in clinical laboratories to detect antigen to Cryptococcus neoformans in CSF or serum and to confirm the presence of beta-hemolytic streptococcus form the culture plates. Latex tests are also available to detect Streptococcus agalactiae, Clostridium difficile toxins A and B and rotavirus. Control latex (coated with antibody form the same animal species from which the specific antibody was made) is tested alongside the latex. In some cases, if the patient specimen or the culture isolate reacts with both the test and control latex, the test is considered non-specific and as a result of this, the result can be difficult to be predicted.
