Laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections
Selection of appropriate specimens for culture and microscopic examination is based on the results of clinical and radiographic examination and consideration of the most likely fungal pathogen that may cause such an infection. Specimens should be collected under aseptic conditions or after appropriate cleaning and decontamination of the collection site and rapidly transported to the clinical my...
متن کاملmolecular diagnosis of viral infections
context: detection of causative pathogen is crucial for treatment strategies in most infections. molecular diagnosis as a more sensitive and specific method, has become the best option to investigate certain pathogens, mainly viruses. recent scientific and technological approaches resulted in changing the area of diagnostic microbiology. evidence acquisition: a comprehensive online search of da...
متن کاملDiagnosis, prevention and treatment of fungal infections.
Most fungi live harmlessly in the environment, but some species can cause disease in the human host. Nurses working in primary care are likely to see patients with superficial fungal infections and are well placed to offer advice about treatment and measures to prevent the spread of infection in the home. Patients with weakened immune function admitted to hospital are at high risk of developing...
متن کاملDevelopment and validation of a molecular method for the diagnosis of medically important fungal infections.
The increasing incidence of severe fungal infections highlights the need for rapid and precise identification methods in clinical mycology. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a culture-indipendent molecular approach that could allow the detection of fungal pathogens in clinical samples, with particular attention to the identification of drug-resistant Candida and Aspergillus spec...
متن کاملDNA probes and PCR for diagnosis of parasitic infections.
DNA probe and PCR-based assays to identify and detect parasites are technically complex; however, they have high sensitivity, directly detect parasites independent of the immunocompetence or previous clinical history of the patient, and can distinguish between organisms that are morphologically similar. Diagnosis of parasites is often based on direct detection by microscopy, which is insensitiv...
