Diagnosing ocular infections in the clinical microbiology laboratory
The accurate diagnosis of ocular infections hinges on precise specimen collection, handling, communication, and strategic prioritization of testing methods. This review highlights the intricate eye anatomy clinical microbiologists should know to understand ocular collection techniques and diagnostic strategies. It explores limitations regarding specimen volume, offers insight into optimal ocular sample collection and processing, recommends optimal diagnostic strategies for a wide breadth of ocular pathogens, explores the utility of antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and emphasizes the necessity of robust collaboration between laboratory specialists and ocular healthcare providers to ensure superior ophthalmic care.
期刊介绍:
Highly respected for its ability to keep pace with advances in this fast moving field, Clinical Microbiology Newsletter has quickly become a “benchmark” for anyone in the lab. Twice a month the newsletter reports on changes that affect your work, ranging from articles on new diagnostic techniques, to surveys of how readers handle blood cultures, to editorials questioning common procedures and suggesting new ones.
