Abstract

This review article aimed to introduce the artifacts and precisely assessment of fungal elements in medical mycology laboratories that helps physicians for an appropriate therapy of fungal infections. Artifacts including mosaic fungus, oil drops, red and white blood cells, bacteria, and parasites are common causes of false positive reports. Accurate detection of these artifacts by laboratory personnel is a significant factor for decreasing false positive results that lead to a good management of fungal diseases. Studies like this can also helpful for epidemiology surveys that follow the prevalence of fungal infections. © 2014, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS). All rights reserved.
