Transfer 2 mL urine to an ARUP standard transport tube.
Storage/Transport TemperaturePreferred temperatures for storage prior to and during shipping to ARUP. See Stability for additional info.
Refrigerated.
Unacceptable ConditionsCommon conditions under which a specimen will be rejected.
Specimens other than urine. Urine in boric acid. Serum; refer to test Histoplasma Antigen by EIA, Serum (ARUP test code 0092522).

Reference Interval
Normal range/expected value(s) for a specific disease state. May also include abnormal ranges.
Not Detected
Interpretive Data
May include disease information, patient result explanation, recommendations, or details of testing.
Less than 0.4 ng/ml = Not Detected 0.4-0.7 ng/mL = Detected (below the limit of quantification) 0.8-24.0 ng/mL = Detected Greater than 24.0 ng/mL = Detected (above the limit of quantification)
The quantitative range of this assay is 0.8-24.0 ng/mL. Antigen concentrations between 0.4-0.7 or >24.0 ng/mL fall outside the linear range of the assay and cannot be accurately quantified.
This EIA test should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures, including microbiological culture, histological examination of biopsy samples, and/or radiographic evidence, to aid in the diagnosis of histoplasmosis.
