Abstract
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) pose a serious threat to patients, particularly those who are immunocompromised. Timely and accurate diagnosis of IFIs is critical to improving outcomes, and conventional diagnostic methods often fall short. The 1,3 Beta-D-Glucan (BDG) assay has become a significant test in the early diagnosis and management of IFIs when used in the appropriate clinical context.
期刊介绍：
Highly respected for its ability to keep pace with advances in this fast moving field, Clinical Microbiology Newsletter has quickly become a “benchmark” for anyone in the lab. Twice a month the newsletter reports on changes that affect your work, ranging from articles on new diagnostic techniques, to surveys of how readers handle blood cultures, to editorials questioning common procedures and suggesting new ones.
