A retrospective study of 34,314 sputum specimens received by a reference laboratory over a 10-year period demonstrated that clinically significant fungi could be isolated even after long periods of delay between collecting and culturing. As a result of this study, it should be stressed that although immediate culturing for fungi is the ideal, specimens should not be rejected because of delays in transport.
一项对一家参考实验室在10年期间收到的34314份痰标本的回顾性研究表明,即使在采集和培养之间有很长时间的延迟,仍可分离出具有临床意义的真菌。这项研究的结果应强调,虽然对真菌进行即时培养是理想的,但标本不应因运输延迟而被拒收。
