New DNA test could speed up fungal infection diagnosis in cancer patients
NCT ID NCT03349931
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new DNA test called the MycoGenie kit to see how well it can diagnose invasive aspergillosis, a serious fungal infection, in 350 blood cancer patients. The test looks for the fungus's DNA in blood samples and can also detect drug resistance. The goal is to find a faster, more accurate way to diagnose this infection in high-risk patients.
