Huntsville Hospital

Located in Huntsville, Alabama, Huntsville Hospital is a large community and teaching hospital with over 940 beds.1 ​

Why T2?

“With the T2Direct Diagnostics, our hospital is not only reducing the use of antifungal therapy, we’re also identifying far more infected patients than was possible with blood culture,” Dr. Jonathan D. Edwards, Pharm.D., BCPS (AQ-ID), BCGP, Huntsville Hospital1

Proven performance and detection of Candida infections missed by blood culture

The T2Candida® Panel demonstrated an overall sensitivity of 94.4% and identified 26 proven infections that were not detected by blood culture.2

Improved stewardship with narrowed, targeted therapy

Negative T2Candida Panel results contributed to the avoidance or de-escalation of antifungal therapy in 64% of these negative patients.

Pharmacy savings

T2 results decreased the average duration of therapy of micafungin by 2.1 days.2​
