Detection of deep fungal infections: a polyphasic approach.

CONCLUSION: Our results showed that the proposed polyphasic approach appears to be a useful strategy in the detection of fungi from tissue samples, allowing a better prognosis. In further studies, the inclusion of a higher number of samples and the implementation of more genus-specific PCRs will certainly contribute to an increase in the specificity and sensitivity of this method.
