Using (1,3)‐β‐D‐glucan concentrations in serum to monitor the response of azole therapy in patients with eumycetoma caused by Madurella mycetomatis

open access: yesMycoses, Volume 67, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Introduction (1,3)‐β‐D‐glucan is a panfungal biomarker secreted by many fungi, including Madurella mycetomatis, the main causative agent of eumycetoma. Previously we demonstrated that (1,3)‐β‐D‐glucan was present in serum of patients with eumycetoma.
