  • MOLECULAR PREDICTORS OF FUNGAL INFECTION
    Publication number: 20160194715
    Abstract: Methods for identifying fungal infection, assays for identifying genomic and protein markers of fungal infection, and methods for diagnosing the fungal infection. In one aspect, the method of identifying fungal infection by proteomic assay involves measuring the protein levels of proteins listed in Table 2A in a peripheral blood cell sample and comparing the determined protein levels to standard protein levels. In another aspect, subjects identified as being infected with fungal infection are treated with anti-fungals.
