Abstract:

Invasive fungal infection has high morbidity and mortality with high cost of treatment,so the diagnosis of invasive fungal infection is important. Invasive fungal infection has similar clinical manifestations as other infections,and it is prone to misdiagnosis. There is an urgent need to improve the accurate diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infection. This review mainly introduces the development of clinical laboratory diagnosis of invasive fungal infection from the aspects of fungal culture and identification,antigen and antibody determinations and molecular biological determination.
