Sensitivity and Specificity of Plasma and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid PCR for Diagnosing Pulmonary Mucormycosis in Subjects With Diabetes Mellitus

ABSTRACT Background Mucorales polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to diagnose pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) among neutropenic individuals. However, data on the utility of PCR in patients with diabetes mellitus, another major risk factor for PM, are limited. Objective The primary objective was to a...
