Key Points

The aim is to establish an efficient protocol for identifying Schizophyllum commune in respiratory fungal cultures.
Developed a practical protocol for detecting S. commune in clinical fungal cultures.
Evaluated the protocol in a general medical facility context.
Focused on improving cost-effectiveness and efficiency in laboratory settings.
Showed potential for reducing underdiagnosis of S. commune-related diseases.
Improved resource allocation in clinical practices.

Implication

Pilot study reveals effective detection of S. commune in respiratory specimens, suggesting improved diagnosis of allergic airway diseases.

Abstract

This protocol enables the efficient and cost-effective detection of S. commune in clinical laboratories in a general medical facility, potentially reducing the underdiagnosis of S. commune-related allergic airway diseases and improving medical resource use.
