Appropriate use of the microbiology laboratory in the diagnosis of infectious diseases
Am J Infect Control.
1987 Oct.
Abstract
The collection and processing of clinical specimens in the diagnosis of infectious diseases is reviewed. Available culture methods, other laboratory tests, and their appropriate use and interpretation are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on selection of those tests most likely to give a specific diagnosis while avoiding unnecessary laboratory use.
