Outline of Final Research Achievements

Current developement of molecular assay has enabled rapid diagnosis in various clinical fields including infectious diseases. However, despite the necessity to assume a variety of causative micro-organisms in infectious diseases of immunodeficient patients, standardization of diagnostic algorithms has been under develppment. In this study, we established new diagnostic algorithms for A. Clostridium difficile related enteritis, B.Pneumocystis pneumoanie, C. Invasive fungal infection using rapid diagnostic method including a new automated molecular assay, which could be applied in routine practice.
