Polymerase chain reaction in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis
Mycoses.
2004 Aug.
Abstract
In the present study, we present a patient with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique on blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples of the patient. The value of PCR in the diagnosis of aspergillosis is discussed.
