Abstract:Background:
Accurate diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
Paracoccidioides
antibody detection by double immunodiffusion (DID) is a convenient diagnostic tool, but testing performance can vary based on certain factors.
Methods:
We assessed DID performance using a commercially prepared
Paracoccidioides
reagents (IMMY, USA), involving 40 serum specimens, including 20 from patien… Show more
