The mutual value of histopathology and ITS sequencing in the diagnosis of mucormycosis

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Mucormycosis is a fast-progressing disease with a high mortality rate. The most important factor determining survival of patients is early and accurate diagnosis. Although histopathology often recognises invasive mould infections at first, histomorphology alone is insufficient in providing an accurate diagnosis. Unbiased molecular methods to detect and identify fungi are promising, yet their role in...
