Significance of galactomannan antigen for aspergillosis diagnosis: A review
Invasive aspergillosis is one the major causes of death in hematopoietic and solidtransplantrecipients. One of the most critical problems in medical mycology is theinability to consistently make a convincing and early diagnosis of invasive fungalinfection. Conventional diagnosis methods such as culture-based approaches are limitedby the insufficient accessibility sensitivity and the non-culture...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar lavage galactomannan for the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.
Diagnosing chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is complicated, and there are limited data available regarding the identification of galactomannan (GM) in clinical specimens to assist the detection of this infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the detection of GM in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum and to assess its utility for diagnosing CPA. We retrospectively rev...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Galactomannan for Diagnosis of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis
To the Editor—We read the article by Maertens et al [1] with great interest. In a series of 58 patients who received a diagnosis of proven or probable invasive aspergillosis (IA), the authors confirmed previous work that the diagnostic performance of galactomannan antigen levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples is good and that the procedure is safe in critically ill hematology pat...
