Establishment and application of real-time quantitative PCR for diagnosing invasive Aspergillosis via the blood in hematological patients: targeting a specific sequence of Aspergillus 28S-ITS2

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals. This study was conducted to identify a desirable target DNA sequence for the diagnosis of aspergillosis using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from Aspergillus, Candida, and bacteria species, and qPCR was applied to validate a partial...
