Status and prospect of laboratory diagnosis for invasive aspergillosis / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Invasive aspergillosis ( IA) is a systemic infection disease caused by aspergillus , which attacks the deep tissue organs with poor prognosis .Early accurate diagnosis and timely antifungal treatment have great significance to improve the prognosis of patients with IA and reduce the mortality rate .Currently , the diagnosis of IA mainly depends on laboratory examination because the clinical manifestation of IA is almost lack of specificity , and easily masked by primary diseases .The main detection techniques of IA applied in clinic and diagnostic techniques with great potential application in the future were introduced and evaluated in this paper , so as to promote the IA diagnosis technology research and development .
