摘要：

Clinical diagnosis of invasive fungal infections demands a high clinical acumen, but both under and over-diagnosis are common. Laboratory mycological tests have traditionally been limited by a range of complications. Development of methodologies to detect fungal-specific immunoglobulins, cell wall antigens and nucleic acid have improved dramatically in recent years.
