diagnostic tests:

Answer 53

- fungal culture - Ag detection by enzyme immunoassay ; using serum or urine, but can be used for bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid or CSF (cross reactions can occur but + result can help guide diagnosis. - Fungal stains on cytological or histopathologic samples: Sputum, BAL, Lung biopsy or other tissue sample (False - can occur) - antibody tests: immunodiffusion and complement fixation tests (have low sensitivity and specificity therefore not reliable) - PCR : to confirm culture and histopathologic samples.
