Advance on molecular identification of Dermatophytes

Abstract

Abstract:

Currently the infection of dermatophytes had increased worldwidely, and caused widespread concern. The non-specific clinical symptoms of dermatophytoses might result in difficulties in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis. In order to diagnose dermatophytoses accurately and early, identification of dermatophytes was especially important. Current methods of identification were mainly morphological and molecular biology methods. This article focused on the rapid development of molecular biological methods, and exhibited their sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of dermatophytoses.

Key words: Dermatophytoses, Dermatophytes, differential diagnosis, morph-ological methods, molecular biological methods
