摘要
A number of newer diagnostic procedures have been developed over the last few years as alternatives to conventional microbiological methods to detect invasive fungal diseases (IFD). This text reviews the performance of alternative methods in clinical settings, and their accuracy compared with that of microscopical examination and microbiological cultures. Some newer techniques considered as complementary and experimental procedures are also reviewed. The text is divided into three sections, including Candida infections, aspergillosis and infections due to rare and emerging fungal species. (C) 2012 Elsevier Espana, S.L. All rights reserved.
