PCR Detection of DNA Specific for Trichosporon Species in Serum of Patients with Disseminated Trichosporonosis
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Deep-seated trichosporonosis is a lethal opportunistic infection that disseminates rapidly and widely in immunocompromised patients, and early diagnosis is crucial for the treatment of this infection. We developed a novel nested-PCR assay that detects DNA specific for clinically important strains of Trichosporon in serum samples from patients with disseminated trichosporonosis. In this assay, two sets of...
