In Situ Hybridization for the Differentiation of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Pseudallescheria Species in Tissue Section
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Identification of fungi in tissue sections can be difficult. In particular, species of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Pseudallescheria all appear as septate, branched hyphae. However, their differentiation can have significant clinical implications, as the latter two groups are often resistant to commonly used antifungal agents. In situ hybridization may assist in rapidly distinguishing these organisms in the absence...
