29 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) are life-threatening events in patients with haematologic disorders, and the spectrum of the aetiological pathogens continues to expand. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of a panfungal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the management of IFDs in such patients. METHODS: We prospectively analysed 273 consecutive blood samples from 64 risk episodes...
