Fungal infections in humans range in severity from superficial, cutaneous manifestations to deep-seated, invasive infection, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
The mycology laboratory must be prepared to provide a timely identification of the causative fungal pathogen from a variety of different specimen types.
In tissue, histopathologic examination may provide the first diagnostic evidence of fungal disease and mycological analysis can confirm the diagnosis and provide antifungal susceptibility data to inform patient treatment.
This chapter reviews the conventional and advanced methods used in the diagnostic mycology laboratory and provides a number of detailed patient cases in which the laboratory was critical in determining the etiology of infection.
Each case includes the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, relevant laboratory findings, and a discussion pertinent to the pathogen identified and a brief review of other potential etiologies for the clinical syndrome described.
