Background
Current diagnostic tools
The diagnostic methods employed to diagnose fungal infections vary in performance and depend on the patient symptoms. The following table is a reproduction of the one presented at the Fungal Infection Thrust.
| Fungal problem | Diagnostic performance | |||||
| Microscopy | Agar culture | Xrays/scans | Antigen | Blood antibody | DNA detection | |
| Thrush | +++ | +++ | - | - | - | - |
| Candida bloodstream | - | +++ | + | + | + | +++ |
| Candida abdominal | + | +++ | + | - | - | - |
| Cryptococcal meningitis | ++ | +++ | + | +++ | - | - |
| Invasive aspergillosis | + | + | +++ | ++ | - | ++ |
| Chronic aspergillosis | + | + | +++ | - | +++ | ++ |
| Allergic aspergillosis | + | + | ++ | - | +++ |
