Laboratory diagnostics of candidiasis: analytical accuracy of methods and problems of antifungal resistance<\/h2>\n

Candidiasis<\/a>, caused by opportunistic fungi of the genus Candida<\/i> (in particular C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis<\/i>), represents a significant challenge in clinical medicine, ranging from common mucosal infections to life-threatening invasive candidiasis. Accurate and timely laboratory diagnosis is critical to differentiate colonization from true infection and to ensure effective therapy. This analytical review is devoted to comparing classical and molecular methods, as well as assessing the problem of resistance development.<\/p>\n

Comparison of classical and innovative diagnostic methods<\/h2>\n

The choice of diagnostic test depends on the clinical form of candidiasis (local or systemic). Below is a comparison of the key methods.<\/p>\n

1. Microscopy and culture (Culture)<\/h3>\n
