    About Lesson

    Early diagnosis of IFI is a challenge in clinical practice and forms the crucial basis for targeted treatment.

    The diagnosis and treatment of IFI are challenging due to:

    • Complexity.
    • Non-specificity.
    • Similarities in symptoms with other infections.
    • The lack of specific diagnostic markers.
    • High cost of testing
