Abstract:Introduction: Diagnosis of bloodstream infections using microbiological cultures suffers from low sensitivity and reporting delay. Advanced molecular techniques introduced in many laboratories provide rapid results and may show improvements in patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a molecular technique, broad-range 16S rRNA PCR followed by Genusspecific multiplex PCR and Candida specific nested PCR for the diagnosis of bloodstream infections in immunocompromised patients with haemato… Show more
