Fungal antigen detection as an aid for diagnosis of invasive fungal infections
Immunocompromised hosts are at special risk for invasive fungal infections (IFI). Traditional methods of diagnosis (e.g. culture and molecular methods) largely suffer from poor sensitivity, thus limiting their clinical utility. Enzyme immunoassay-based detection of fungal antigens represents an attractive, supplementary method for IFI identification and is the focus of this review. by Phillip R. Heaton […]
