Immunological Cross-Reactivity of Proteins Extracted from the Oomycete <i>Pythium insidiosum</i> and the Fungus <i>Basidiobolus ranarum</i> Compromises the Detection Specificity of Immunodiagnostic Assays for Pythiosis

Immunological Cross-Reactivity of Proteins Extracted from the Oomycete <i>Pythium insidiosum</i> and the Fungus <i>Basidiobolus ranarum</i> Compromises the Detection Specificity of Immunodiagnostic Assays for Pythiosis

Pythiosis, a life-threatening disease caused by <i>Pythium insidiosum</i>, has been increasingly diagnosed worldwide. A recently developed immunochromatographic test (ICT) enables the rapid diagnosis of pythiosis. During the 3-year clinical implementation of ICT in Thailand, we collected...
