Fungi and yeasts are critical causes of acute infection. As such, the detection and identification of these organisms are crucial in the diagnosis of affected patient populations. There is a vast array of commercial tests currently available for diagnostic purposes. These vary from traditional culture and biochemical methods to advanced multiparameter molecular tests. Recent technological advances have driven the development of rapid tests which are complementing and in some cases replacing the more traditional methods of detection. Irrespective of the method used the ultimate goal is timely detection of the infectious agent allowing appropriate treatment and improved outcome for the patient.
真菌和酵母是急性感染的关键病因。因此，对这些微生物的检测和鉴定对于受影响患者群体的诊断至关重要。目前有大量用于诊断目的的商业检测方法。这些方法从传统的培养和生化方法到先进的多参数分子检测方法不等。最近的技术进步推动了快速检测方法的发展，这些方法正在补充并在某些情况下取代更传统的检测方法。无论使用何种方法，最终目标都是及时检测出感染病原体，以便为患者进行适当治疗并改善治疗结果。
