ResumoAlthough clinical microbiology laboratories have been practicing their specialty for at least half a century, there are still numerous differing opinions even among the acknowledged experts regarding how best to diagnose almost every infectious disease. The following section contains discussions led by some of the best minds in the profession, with participation of other clinical microbiology leaders, new and upcoming, on laboratory strategies for four infectious syndromes for which consensus has not been reached. What are the issues, and what agreements or challenges exist surrounding these important clinical entities?
