Serum 1,3-βD-Glucan assay in the diagnosis of invasive fungal disease in neonates
Invasive fungal disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonate. The current study aims to assess the 1, 3-βD-Glucan (BG) assay in a prospective analysis in neonates with suspected fungaemia. A multicentre, prospective cohort study was conducted in Johannesburg, South Africa. The study included 72 neonates with clinically suspected late onset sepsis who were at high ris...
متن کاملAssessment of Β-d-(1→3)-glucan Assay for Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infec- Tions
Aim: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are associated with high mortality and morbidity. However, the diagnosis of IFIs in an immunocompromised host is difficult and often missed or delayed. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of the (1→3)-β-DGlucan assay as a diagnostic complement for IFIs. Methods: We reviewed the records of all inpatients in various units at Erciyes University’s Medic...
متن کاملβ-D-glucan testing is important for diagnosis of invasive fungal infections.
Invasive fungal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who receive immunosuppressive therapy, such as solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Many of the fungi associated with these infections are angioinvasive and are best diagnosed by visualizing the organism in or culturing the organism from deep tissue. However, obtaining such...
متن کاملDetection of (1,3)-β-d-Glucan for the Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infection in Liver Transplant Recipients
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are complications after liver transplantation involving high morbidity and mortality. (1,3)-β-d-glucan (BG) is a biomarker for IFI, but its utility remains uncertain. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of BG following their diagnosis. Between January 2013 and May 2016, 271 liver transplants were performed in our institution. Serum samples were tested...
متن کاملProgress in the Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Disease in Children
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the fungal diagnostic measures currently available for use in paediatric patients at high risk for developing invasive fungal disease (IFD) and those suspected of having an IFD. The clinical utility of each test is described based on reported performances of individual tests in specific paediatric populations. RECENT FINDINGS Available studies in the p...
متن کاملContribution of the (133)- -D-Glucan Assay for Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infections
Diagnosis of invasive fungal infection (IFI) remains a challenge. A retrospective study was performed on 279 patients at three French university hospitals to evaluate the performance of the (133)-D-glucan assay (BG assay; Fungitell; Associates of Cape Cod, Inc.) for the diagnosis of IFI. The results of one serum per subject were analyzed for 117 patients who had probable or proven IFI according...
