Dermatological Investigations
Dermatological Investigations
The skin is a highly informative organ for disease diagnosis. Many skin issues can be identified through visual examination by skilled clinicians, combined with accurate patient history. Yet, certain conditions defy immediate diagnosis, necessitating molecular biology tools for precise identification. These tools bolster laboratory diagnostic speed and accuracy, intended to complement traditional microbiology techniques, not supplant them. Optimal results arise from a comprehensive approach that integrates all available methods.
