Novel Technologies for Diagnosis of Fungal Infections

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few years, there has been a surge in nonculture tools aimed at a more timely and accurate diagnosis of invasive fungal infections (IFIs). This Special Issue is designed to provide an update on the latest clinical and translational developments of nonculture diagnostic tools for the diagnosis of IFIs. Special topics will include clinical applications of T2MR technology for the diagnosis of Candida species infections, the use of B-D-glucan in diagnostic stewardship programs, new strategies for the use of Aspergillus galactomannan for the early diagnosis of IPA in patients with hematological malignancies, novel tools for the rapid diagnosis of IPA (specifically Aspergillus lateral flow device and Aspergillus Galactomannan lateral flow assay), clinical applications of Aspergillus PCR and current status or immuno-PET /MR imaging research for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. Authors who are experts in those subfields and who are actively researching these topics and leading the charge to improve the current diagnostic and clinical states are cordially invited to submit to this Special Issue.
