Detection of aspergillus by PCR is a helpful tool for early diagnosis. The test has excellent sensitivity and specificity with a high negative predictive value. Well-accepted, standardized method for DNA extraction for PCR testing is to be adopted for all commercial assays and conclusive validation data are awaited in varied clinical settings. This perspective offers guidance for utilizing PCR testing while awaiting such data. Quantification by PCR, species-specific identification assays and detection of resistance genetic markers are of future promise. Herein, we summarize the available data on aspergillus PCR and describe its potential utility through a clinical case scenario-based approach.
