Over the past few years new techniques have been developed to improve the diagnosis of infectious diseases. However, despite the various available culture systems, culture-negative endocarditis currently represents a challenge for physicians. In our laboratory, in an effort to reduce the rate of endocarditis of unknown etiology, we have used several recent histologic, serologic, and molecular tests. We review the latest technical developments for the diagnosis of infectious endocarditis, including those that we are currently using.
在过去几年中，已开发出新的技术来改善传染病的诊断。然而，尽管有各种可用的培养系统，但目前培养阴性的心内膜炎对医生来说仍是一项挑战。在我们实验室，为努力降低病因不明的心内膜炎发生率，我们使用了几种最新的组织学、血清学和分子检测方法。我们回顾了用于诊断感染性心内膜炎的最新技术进展，包括我们目前正在使用的那些技术。
