Identification of <i>Aspergillus</i> and Mucorales in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples: Comparison of specific and broad-range fungal qPCR assays
17 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Establishing the etiology of invasive fungal infections is important to guide therapeutic options and for epidemiologic purposes. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens from patients with proven invasive fungal infections are valuable to determine the etiology of systemic fungal infections. We compared different polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification strategies from FFPE tissue blocks to...
