Abstract

Prompt diagnosis of fungal infection is important in order to direct therapeutic efforts. Diagnosis of fungal infections depends on three basic laboratory approaches: (1) microbiologic, (2) immunologic, and (3) histopathologic. These approaches may be supplemented by molecular, proteomic and biochemical methods of organism detection and identification. Use of newer methods for detection of fungal antigens and nucleic acids offers great promise for rapid diagnosis of fungal infections.
