Histoplasmosis: a review for clinicians from non-endemic areas.

abstract：:Fusarium infections are increasingly being encountered in immunocompromised patients. Fusarium solani accounts for nearly half of these infections. A specific nested PCR (nPCR) assay has been developed by using DNA isolated from several Fusarium species and other common fungi. Furthermore, DNA samples isolated from br...
