Interpretation of Fungal Culture Results

Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2014
Classically, diagnosis of fungal infections is based on microscopic examination coupled with attempts to culture the responsible fungus from a clinical sample. For some fungal infections (such as dermatophyte infections, infections with dimorphic fungi, and blood stream infections with Fusarium, Acremonium and allied genera) recovery of the fungus in ...

Chronic fungal vaginitis: The value of cultures

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
Our purpose was to examine the importance of fungal cultures in evaluating patients with symptoms of chronic vaginitis by assessing the relative contribution of various yeast species and by comparing infections caused by Candida albicans with those caused by other species.A prospective observational study of patients referred with chronic vaginal ...

The Role of Donor Rim Fungal Cultures

Cornea, 2020
Abstract: Culturing all donor rims for fungus makes no sense. Only 1% of all cultures will be positive, and of those positive cultures, only 6% will also have a clinical infection. Prophylactically treating all positive cultures means 94% of patients will be treated unnecessarily. Fungal cultures do not reliably direct specific

Exoantigen tests for the immunoidentification of fungal cultures

Mycopathologia, 1983
Exoantigen tests for the immunoidentification of fungal pathogens are playing a new and significant role in the diagnostic laboratory. Properly performed and controlled exoantigen tests lead to rapid, accurate identification of cultures of many fungal pathogens.

Fungal and Mycobacterial Blood Cultures

2017
Early and appropriate antimicrobial therapy of sepsis is associated with improved clinical outcomes, and the laboratory identification of the etiological agent of fungemia and/or mycobacteremia is very important for successful outcome. Fungi and some mycobacteria grow more slowly than many common pathogenic bacteria, and specialized broth culture media

PRESERVATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FUNGAL CULTURES

2004
Maintaining and preserving fungal cultures are essential elements of systematics and biodiversity studies. Because fungi are such a diverse group, several methods of cultivation and preservation are required to ensure the viability and morphological, physiological, and genetic integrity of the cultures over time. The cost and convenience of each method,

The Value of Fungal Surveillance Cultures as Predictors of Systemic Fungal Infections

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1980
Fungal surveillance cultures consisting of urine, stool, and respiratory specimens were analyzed from 37 recipients of bone-marrow transplants and 52 patients undergoing chemotherapy for acute leukemia and other hematologic malignancies. All patients had prolonged aplasia.

Impact of fungal species cultured on outcome in horses with fungal keratitis

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2016
AbstractPurposeTo determine the significance ofAspergillusandFusariumspp., as identified by culture, on clinical outcome in equine keratomycosis.MethodsRetrospective analysis of 66 horses (66 eyes) evaluated at the NCSU‐VH diagnosed with keratomycosis from whichAspergillusorFusariumspp. were cultured. Horses were classified into those who improved with

Culture-Positive Allergic Fungal Sinusitis

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1991
Allergic Aspergillus sinusitis is a well-defined clinical and histologic entity, although surprisingly few reported cases have yielded any fungal growth on culture. Taking advantage of recent changes in the identification and classification of certain groups of fungi, we were able to identify a specific fungal organism in 19 of 22 consecutive patients ...
