Issues with galactomannan testing [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2006
Within the past decade detection of the aspergillus antigen galactomannan has become an important and reliable tool for the early diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. The galactomannan molecule, that is detected by the commercial sandwich ELISA (Platelia Aspergillus, Biorad), was found not to be a single molecule, but a family of molecules that have ...

Prognostic Features of Galactomannan Antigenemia in Galactomannan-Positive Invasive Aspergillosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010
ABSTRACT Prognostic features of serum galactomannan (GM) remain poorly defined in patients with GM-positive invasive aspergillosis (GPA). We identified 93 patients with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis (IA) and GM values of ≥0.50 from January 2005 to March 2009.

Galactomannan-Antigen Testing from Non-Directed Bronchial Lavage for Rapid Detection of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Critically Ill Patients: A Proof-of-Concept Study

Diagnostics, 2023
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is associated with high mortality. For diagnosis, galactomannan-antigen in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is recommended, with higher sensitivity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

Utility of serum Aspergillus-galactomannan antigen to evaluate the risk of severe acute exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

PLoS ONE, 2018
BackgroundRecent studies have shown that the microbiome, namely Aspergillus species, play a previously unrecognized role in both stable and exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Sputum Galactomannan Has Utility in the Diagnosis of Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis (PA), a fungal disease caused by Aspergillus species, is challenging since symptoms are unspecific. The galactomannan (antigen secreted by Aspergillus species) test in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is a valuable ...
