Currently, the Kazan Research Institute of EMR has developed Candida albicans allergen for the diagnosis of allergic diseases caused by sensitization to Candida fungi by means of skin allergy tests. In some cases, however, skin allergy tests alone cannot be used to determine whether fungal sensitization is present. There are diseases in which skin testing is contraindicated. It is necessary to develop in vitro tests that ensure complete harmlessness of specific diagnosis for the patient.
