Abstract:
The acurate diagnosis of invasive fungal infection(IFI)is the key point for the treatment and proginosis for IFI patients.Pathological diagnosis is still considered as the gold standard for the IFI diagnosis although difficult.The regular procedures for IFI diagnosis including culture and direct examintion are often low yeilding,the discrimination for contamination and infection is hard.Imaging manifestations are nonspecific but have important suggestive values.The detection for molds antigen content is useful,but its sensitivity and specifity need to be improved.The proper diagnosis for IFI relys on the combination of clinical characteristic,imaging manifestion and serial observation.
