Race against time: new test aims to spot deadly fungal infections faster
NCT ID NCT03469401
Summary
This study tested a new method to quickly detect fungal infections in the abdominal fluid of ICU patients with peritonitis. It compared a new lab test to the standard, slower method to see if it could help doctors start life-saving antifungal treatment earlier. The goal was to improve diagnosis speed for these serious infections, which have a high mortality rate.
