A PCR-Based Approach for Early Diagnosis of Head and Neck Aspergillosis: A Pilot Study
These findings suggest that PCR can be used as an auxiliary method for diagnosing aspergillosis. However, this was a pilot study, and expansion of the sample size and the evaluation of PCR in comparison with other diagnostic tests for aspergillosis are essential to determine the accuracy of the method.
