Abstract
SUMMARY Antibody and antigen detection assays continue to play a significant role in the diagnosis of dimorphic fungal pathogens, including Blastomyces dermatitidis complex, Coccidioides immitis/posadasii , Paracoccidioides species, Histoplasma species , Sporothrix species, and Talaromyces marneffei . The performance characteristics of serologic and antigen detection assays for these pathogens are variable, however, influenced by multiple factors, including sample type, disease presentation, patient immunostatus, and timing of specimen collection relative to symptom onset. As a result, there is a need for a centralized document summarizing the accuracy of currently available antibody and antigen detection assays for each of these agents, including discussion of individual assay nuances and caveats that should be considered by clinicians and laboratorians alike. In addition, this review provides expert recommendations for the utilization and interpretation of serologic and antigen detection assays for these dimorphic pathogens.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
