Development and Clinical Application of a Panfungal PCR Assay To Detect and Identify Fungal DNA in Tissue Specimens
Anna F. Lau,Sharon C.-A. Chen,Tania C. Sorrell,Dee A. Carter,Richard Malik,Patricia Martin,Catriona Halliday +6 more
TL;DR: A panfungal PCR assay that targets the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region of the ribosomal DNA gene cluster to detect fungal DNA in fresh and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from patients with culture-proven or solely histologically proven IFIs supports the use of the panf fungus PCR assay in combination with conventional laboratory tests for accurate identification of fungi in tissue specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An international consortium of medical mycology laboratories was formed aiming to establish a quality controlled ITS database, containing 2800 ITS sequences representing 421 fungal species, providing the medical community with a freely accessible tool to rapidly and reliably identify most agents of mycoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galactomannan and PCR versus culture and histology for directing use of antifungal treatment for invasive aspergillosis in high-risk haematology patients: a randomised controlled trial

Bradstock,Jeff Szer,Catriona Halliday,Nicole Gilroy,John Moore,Anthony P. Schwarer,Stephen Guy,Ashish Bajel,Adrian R Tramontana,Tim Spelman,Tim Spelman,Monica A. Slavin +21 more
TL;DR: Use of aspergillus galactomannan and PCR to direct treatment reduced use of empirical antifungal treatment in high-risk haematology patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive infections due to filamentous fungi other than Aspergillus: epidemiology and determinants of mortality

TL;DR: Non-Aspergillus IFD affected diverse patient groups, including non-immunocompromised hosts and those outside traditional risk groups; therefore, definitions of IFD in these patients are required.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of nucleic acid-based diagnostic tests for systemic mycoses with an emphasis on polymerase chain reaction-based assays
TL;DR: The majority of molecular tests are polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays focusing mainly on the detection of Candida and Aspergillus spp. from clinical samples.
