Development and validation of a real-time multiplex PCR assay for the detection of dermatophytes and Fusarium spp.

Conclusion: The multiplex qPCR assays were reliable for the diagnosis of onychomycosis, with shorter turn-around time as compared to culture method. This aids in the planning of treatment strategies to achieve optimal therapeutic outcome.
