ABSTRACT

Abstract: Pathogenic fungi are responsible for high infectious morbidity and mortality in immunodeficient patients, a rapid and accurate identification of pathogenic fungi is critical for appropriate treatment. Recently, many molecular methods have been developed for diagnosis to improve the identification of pathogenic fungi. In this review we compared the advantage and disadvantage of five molecular methods that are widely used in the diagnosis of pathogenic fungi.
