Earlier Response Assessment in Invasive Aspergillosis Based on the Kinetics of Serum Aspergillus Galactomannan: Proposal for a New Definition

Abstract

The Aspergillus-specific GMI-based criteria compare favorably to current response definitions for IA and significantly shorten time to response assessment. These criteria rely on a simple, reproducible, objective, and Aspergillus-specific test and should serve as the primary endpoint in trials of IA.
