A number of newer diagnostic procedures have been developed over the last few years as alternatives to conventional microbiological methods to detect invasive fungal diseases (IFD). This text reviews the performance of alternative methods in clinical settings, and their accuracy compared with that of microscopical examination and microbiological cultures. Some newer techniques considered as complementary and experimental procedures are also reviewed. The text is divided into three sections, including Candida infections, aspergillosis and infections due to rare and emerging fungal species.
在过去几年中，已开发出一些更新的诊断程序，作为检测侵袭性真菌病（IFD）的传统微生物学方法的替代方法。本文回顾了替代方法在临床环境中的表现，以及与显微镜检查和微生物培养相比的准确性。还回顾了一些被视为补充性和实验性程序的更新技术。本文分为三个部分，包括念珠菌感染、曲霉病以及由罕见和新出现的真菌物种引起的感染。
