Submitted diploma thesis deals with laboratory diagnostics of filamentous micromycetes (moulds) genus Fusarium in the laboratories of medical mycology. In the first part of the diploma thesis is dedicated space for general familiarization with filamentous microscopic fungi. Next separate chapter describes the genus Fusarium, especially in relation to human medicine. The final part of the diploma thesis summarizes current possibilities of laboratory diagnostics of filamentous micromycetes, focusing on the genus Fusarium. Invasive infections caused by filamentous fungi are increasingly common complication, especially in immunocompromised patients. In most cases they affect the patients with hematologic malignity and patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplantation. The most common etiological agent of such infections is unambiguously the Aspergillus genus. However, in recent years, increasingly cases of infections due to less common filamentous fungi, including Fusarium spp. are described. Invasion fungal infections are associated with very high mortality. The basic requirement thus becomes the speed and accuracy of diagnosis. The most important methods for the laboratory diagnostics of invasive infections caused by filamentous fungi are conventional methods -...
