Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
T2 magnetic resonance assay for the rapid diagnosis of candidemia in whole blood: a clinical trial.
Microbiologic cultures, the current gold standard diagnostic method for invasive Candida infections, have low specificity and take up to 2-5 days to grow. We present the results of the first extensive multicenter clinical trial of a new nanodiagnostic approach, T2 magnetic resonance (T2MR), for diagnosis of candidemia. ⋯ NCT01752166.
