A biopsy may be indicated in various scenarios within infectious diseases:
- Persistent or Unexplained Symptoms: When patients exhibit prolonged symptoms like fever, weight loss, or organ dysfunction without a clear diagnosis. - Immunocompromised Patients: In cases where patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy, present with unusual infections. - Non-Responsive to Treatment: When infections do not respond to standard treatments, suggesting a need for a more precise diagnosis.
