Diagnostic Value of the Serum Galactomannan and (1, 3)-β-D-glucan Assays for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Non-neutropenic Patients

Abstract

Compared with the testing of neutropenic patients, the serum GM or BG assay alone was less useful for the diagnosis of IPA in non-neutropenic patients. However, at least one positive result of the two serum assays appeared to be useful in the diagnosis of IPA in non-neutropenic patients.
