There has been an enormous increase in the frequency and severity of fungal infections in recent years. Culture from a clinical sample is the gold standard for diagnosis of fungal infection as it has the advantage of yielding the specific etiological agent if positive. Moreover, culture allows for susceptibility testing.

Medical laboratory tests are essential to the clinical management of patients. It is important to express numerical results with additional properties, such as linearity.

Implementing a laboratory quality management system can seem a daunting project. Learn how you can deliver consistent, high-quality, and cost-effective laboratory services by participating CLSI’s updated Laboratory Quality Management System (LQMS) Certificate Program.

Most laboratories use methods such as QC, equipment calibration measurement, QA measurements of process performance, and more recently, implementation of a quality management system, to determine the quality of examination results and laboratory services.
