Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection

Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection

Prompt detection and identification of fungal pathogens at the genus and species level is critical in order to provide timely antifungal therapy. Here, we highlight the vital role of molecular diagnostics in achieving a fast and definitive diagnosis of disseminated blastomycosis in a diabetic patien...
