Laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections.
Most hospitals do not perform mycologic examinations because laboratory personnel still believe in the "old wives' tale" that mycology is too difficult to do and that the fungi are too infectious to handle. This discussion presents methods suitable for use in laboratories of all sizes. It is hoped that laboratories will take the initiative in offering diagnostic mycology services routinely. Medical mycology can be both a challenge and a rewarding experience to those who choose to become involved.
