Role of serodiagnostic tests and skin tests in the diagnosis of fungal disease
Clin Chest Med.
1987 Mar.
Abstract
Serodiagnostic tests have a significant role in the diagnosis of a number of fungal infections. The bases for these tests are reviewed and their sensitivity, specificity, and applications are discussed. Skin test antigens are also reviewed. Their diagnostic role is currently limited, but they have some utility as epidemiological tools.
