Background: Prior studies illustrate the presence and clinical importance of detecting
Aspergillus species in the airways of patients with chronic respiratory disease. Despite this …

Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) after DNA digestion yielded a 28S rDNA copy number of 61 to
86 copies/genome when testing 10 unrelated Aspergillus fumigatus isolates, higher than …

Background: Raised incidences of respiratory tract infections due to fungal agents in
immunocompetent individuals are a cause of concern due to the unavailability of rapid …

Conventional cytopathology examination of respiratory samples can aid in identifying
Aspergillus but with poor sensitivity, so this study aimed to assess the potential of the liquid …

The role of Aspergillus fumigatus in the airways of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) patients with bronchiectasis is currently unclear. We searched for a sensitive and …

Objective (s): The nosocomial infections by Aspergillus species are associated with
constructions and increased dust loads in hospital indoors. Our main object was to find the …

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely used as a diagnostic tool in clinical
laboratories and is particularly effective for detecting and identifying infectious agents for …

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a common complication of immunosuppression.
Rapid diagnosis using molecular techniques is essential to improve patient survival. PCR …

Rapid and quantitative detection of Aspergillus from clinical samples may facilitate an early
diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). As nucleic acid-based detection is a …

Background The diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) remains challenging.
Culture and histopathological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid are useful …
