Defining Galactomannan Positivity in the Updated EORTC/MSGERC Consensus Definitions of Invasive Fungal Diseases

Abstract The consensus definitions of invasive fungal diseases from the EORTC/MSGERC were recently revised and updated. They now include cutoff values for galactomannan test that support diagnosis probable aspergillosis. In this supplement article, we provide a rationale these proposed thresholds based on test’s characteristics performance in different patient populations specimen types.
