[Detection of Candida albicans infection by indirect immunofluorescence].
It has been a serious problem that candida sepsis is increasing followed thermal injury, which related to the increasing use of antibiotics in part. This paper showed that indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is a more sensitive, efficiency, rapidly and specific method by staining urine sample in early diagnosis or monitoring the candida infection from gut after burn injury. It seems that IFA is more useful to make early diagnosis of candidal infection for the clinical purpose.
