Genotypic identification of Fusarium species from ocular sources: comparison to morphologic classification and antifungal sensitivity testing (an AOS thesis).

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Ocular infections caused by fungal organisms can cause significant ocular morbidity, particularly when diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Rapid and accurate identification of Fusarium species at the subgenus level using current diagnostic standards is timely and insensitive. The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the internal transcribed...
