Diagnostic potential of nested PCR, galactomannan EIA, and Beta-D-glucan for invasive aspergillosis in pediatric patients

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2012
Introduction: Limited specific data and investigations are available for invasive aspergillosis (IA) in pediatric patients. We evaluated the diagnostic potential of three noninvasive tests including the Platelia Aspergillus EIA kit for using ...

Galactomannan and 1,3-β-d-Glucan Testing for the Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis

Journal of Fungi, 2016
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a severe complication among hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients or patients with hematological malignancies and neutropenia following anti-cancer therapy. Moreover, IA is increasingly observed in other populations,

Determination of the physical functionality of galactomannans in kappa-carrageenan/galactomannan mixed systems by periodate oxidation [PDF]

Food Chemistry, 1994
Galactomannan samples of different origins (guar gum, tara gum, and locust-bean gums), with mannose-to-galactose (M/G) ratios from 1.7 to 4.8, have been characterized. They exhibited strong differences with respect to their molecular weight and their fine structure (M/G). The different locust-bean-gum samples differed significantly in this respect from
