Invasive fungal diseases are associated with a high morbidity and mortality, particularly in the context of immunosuppression. Diagnosis of invasive fungal diseases is usually complicated by factors such as poor clinical suspicion and unspecific clinical findings. Access to modern diagnostic tools is frequently limited in developing countries. Here, we describe five real-life clinical cases from a Brazilian tertiary hospital, in order to illustrate how to best select diagnostic tests in patients with different fungal infections.
侵袭性真菌病与高发病率和死亡率相关，尤其是在免疫抑制的情况下。侵袭性真菌病的诊断通常因临床怀疑不足和非特异性临床发现等因素而变得复杂。在发展中国家，获得现代诊断工具的机会常常有限。在此，我们描述了巴西一家三级医院的五个实际临床病例，以说明如何为不同真菌感染患者最佳选择诊断测试。
