A total of 332 major pathogenic fungi were isolated from specimens cultured onto both fungal culture media and media used for culturing mycobacteria from January 1968 to June 1975. Only 72 (21.7%) fungi were recovered on media used for culturing mycobacteria. The effect of sodium hydroxide treatment was evaluated and shown to be detrimental to the recovery of fungi. It is recommended that clinical laboratories not rely on mycobacteriological cultures to recover fungal pathogens.
1968年1月至1975年6月期间,从接种于真菌培养基和用于培养分枝杆菌的培养基上培养的标本中,共分离出332株主要致病真菌。在用于培养分枝杆菌的培养基上仅分离出72株(21.7%)真菌。评估了氢氧化钠处理的效果,结果表明其对真菌的分离有不利影响。建议临床实验室不要依赖分枝杆菌培养来分离真菌病原体。
