Geotrichum candidum
Geotrichum candidum is a fungus commonly found in the environment, including soil, water, air, and certain foods. It is also a natural part of the human microbiota, typically residing in the gut and on the skin. While usually harmless, it can become opportunistic and cause infections in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Description
People with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, with HIV/AIDS, or transplant recipients, may benefit from testing for Geotrichum candidum overgrowth.
- Respiratory issues or infections
- Skin rashes or lesions
- Digestive discomfort
- Oral thrush-like symptoms
- Fatigue and general malaise
In healthy individuals, Geotrichum candidum usually doesn’t cause harm and is part of the normal flora. It only becomes problematic when the immune system is compromised.
Treatment for Geotrichum candidum infections typically involves antifungal medications. The specific treatment depends on the infection site and the individual’s overall health status.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
