Artificial Intelligence in the Diagnosis of Invasive Mold Infection: Development of an Automated Histologic Identification System to Distinguish Between Aspergillus and Mucorales.

Background: Histopathological identification is usually required since the sensitivity of fungal culture is not sufficient for accurate diagnosis. On the other hand, pathological diagnosis, especially of molds, often is not accurate, even when performed by an experienced pathologist. This is particularly true in the differentiation between mucormycosis and aspergillosis, which have different drugs of choice and medical management.
