A new study show that clinical suspicion alone is insufficient for the diagnosis of inpatient mycosis (IMI); Suspicious lesions require targeted sampling. A prospective multicenter study is needed to compare diagnostic criteria, especially skin biopsy plus plasma qPCR, with histopathology. 1/2

🔥 New study on invasive #mold infections in severe #burn patients. These infections affect ~20% of cases and are hard to distinguish from colonization. We analyzed 6,000+ samples from 276 patients to identify strategies that could improve mycological diagnosis. 🔗 bit.ly/4a4l6I0
