Detection of (1,3)-β-d-Glucan in Cerebrospinal Fluid in Histoplasma Meningitis [PDF]
, 2018 The diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) histoplasmosis is often difficult. Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (1,3)-β-d-glucan (BDG) is available as a biological marker for the diagnosis of fungal meningitis, there are limited data on its use for ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Blastomyces dermatitidis [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000 The inhalation of conidia of Blastomyces dermatitidis, a fungus found in soil, causes disease in humans and animals. We studied the genetic diversity of this pathogen by extracting DNA yeasts and analyzing them with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based typing system we developed, which used restriction fragment analysis of amplicons from the regions

Talaromyces marneffei laboratory cross reactivity with Histoplasma and Blastomyces urinary antigen
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Talaromyces marneffei is a fungal opportunistic infection usually seen in immunocompromised patients from eastern countries. In the US when examining HIV-patients for suspected fungal infections, laboratory serological tests guide therapy until cultures ...
