Fungal Keratitis – Improving Diagnostics by Confocal Microscopy
PURPOSE Introducing a simple image grading system to support the interpretation of in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) images in filamentous fungal keratitis. SETTING Clinical and confocal studies took place at the Department of Ophthalmology, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Histopathological analysis was performed at the Eye Pathology Institute, Department of Neuroscience and Pharmacolog...
متن کاملFungal molecular diagnostics: a mini review.
Conventional methods to identify fungi have often relied on identification of disease symptoms, isolation and culturing of environmental organisms, and laboratory identification by morphology and biochemical tests. Although these methods are still fundamental there is an increasing move towards molecular diagnostics of fungi in all fields. In this review, some of the molecular approaches to fun...
متن کاملRole of bronchoalveolar lavage diagnostics in fungal infections.
Although a biopsy may need to be performed in complicated patients, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is an important adjunct to the diagnosis of pulmonary and disseminated fungal infections. Culture is the gold standard for diagnosis in many instances, but cytologic and morphologic analysis is often diagnostic. Although newer molecular and antigen techniques may be applied to BAL samples, the role ...
متن کاملPrecision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics
Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...
متن کاملMedical mycology: closing the gap in diagnostics and emerging fungal species?
The incidence of invasive fungal disease (IFD) has increased in parallel with the expansion of the population at risk for IFD to include patients with cancer, solid organ transplant (SOT) and haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, and patients with AIDS, major surgery, premature birth and advanced age. Additionally, the spectrum of path...
