Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015 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 ...

Detection of Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis antigens in serum using a single quantitative enzyme immunoassay [PDF]
J Clin Microbiol, 2023 Histoplasma and Blastomyces antigen detection assays are commonly used diagnostic tools. However, a high level of cross-reactivity between these antigens prevents definitive pathogen identification by these assays alone.
