Nail Fungal
Molecular Testing Kit

NAIL FUNGAL KIT

The DTPM Nail Fungal kit is specifically designed to test for pathogens in the aid of fast identification of nail fungal infections. Toenail or fingernail samples can be collected with no debridement of the nailbed needed.

SYMPTOMS TO CONSIDER:

Those patients affected may experience some of the following symptoms:

  • Thickened nails
  • Whiteish to yellow-brown discoloration
  • Brittle, crumbly, or ragged nail
  • A dark coloration or distorted shape
  • A new or odd odor

COLLECTION METHOD

The DTPM Nail Fungal kit utilizes a 3mm – 6mm (or larger) nail specimen collected by a healthcare professional.

Footnotes:

  1. The Amplicon is the amplified piece of DNA which contains the Fwd, Rev and Probe sequence. Sequence between the Fwd, Rev and Probe are also included in Amplicon.
  2. The BLAST Score describes how similar the Amplicon sequence is to aligned sequences in the non-redundant GenBank Database. The range shown as High/Low reflects the highest and lowest scores for a pathogen that would generate a positive response using this assay.
  3. The number of sequences reviewed reflect the total number sequences in the non-redundant GenBank database on the date of the analysis. This number will change as new sequences are added to the GenBank database.
  4. Matches reflect the total number of pathogens identified in the BLAST search that would generate a positive ressponse. Statistically these are the number of True Positives (the diagnostic test would indicates the presence of the correct disease) = TP
  5. False positive (FP) – Test incorrectly detects the presence of pathogen in a sample that does not contain the pathogen. Shown as an incorrect pathogen in the BLAST analysis with a Score within the High/Low range listed for the assay.
    True negative (TN) – Test correctly identifies absence of pathogen. Calculated from BLAST data as the (total number of sequences reviewed) – (total number of pathogens correctly detected or TP).

Specificity = TN / TN + FP
