Popis: To develop a reliable, rapid assay for detecting pathogenic aspergillus species in fungal sinusitis.Thirty-seven formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded surgical tissue specimens from patients with fungal sinusitis were used in the present study. The aspergillus specific oligonucleotide probe was designed, commercially synthesized, and digoxigenin-labeled. Twenty-three-base oligonucleotides was selected that was complementary to 18S ribosomal RNA sequences (18S-1 probe) for detecting medically important aspergillus species.In situ hybridization for aspergillus rRNA was positive in 28 cases with the 18S-1 probe. Compared with HE (21) and methenamine-silver stain (23).In situ hybridization provides rapid and accurate identification for fungal organism in tissues, and may be useful if cultures are negative or have not performed.
