Failure To Detect Circulating <i>Aspergillus</i> Markers in a Patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease and Invasive Aspergillosis

Abstract

We report a patient with chronic granulomatous disease who developed invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and a subphrenic abscess. During treatment, high levels of Aspergillus antigen were detected in the abscess, but circulating antigen and Aspergillus DNA were undetectable in the serum.
