Diagnosis of invasive mold diseases in patients with hematological malignancies using <i>Aspergillus</i>,<i> Mucorales,</i> and panfungal <scp>PCR</scp> in <scp>BAL</scp>

Abstract

This study illustrates that the diagnosis of IMD is still very problematic and lacks objectivity. Together with GM in BAL, the PCRs may prove an addition to the current available diagnostic armamentarium in IMD because of their ability to identify molds on a species level.
