Expertise for a rapid diagnosis.

We have the knowledge and experience in diagnosing infectious entities and discussing the different options for ancillary testing in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Our practice at Mayo Clinic provides regular exposure, not only to the common infections, but also to uncommon infections that most pathologists may only see once in their careers.
