New tests for fungal diseases
Prototype rapid tests and ELISA for diagnostics and monitoring of fungal diseases are ready for extended evaluation in clinical cases. The chemical structure of the antigens are in process. The tests were preliminary tested on fungal culture fluid, BALF, urine and washout from affected tissue. We invite specialized hospitals to take part in continued test validation
