Prospective Monitoring for Invasive Aspergillosis Using Galactomannan and Polymerase Chain Reaction in High Risk Pediatric Patients
28 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of invasive aspergillus remains a challenge in the care of high-risk patients. Outcomes are improved when invasive aspergillus is diagnosed early, prompting the initiation of appropriate antifungal therapy. We evaluated the utility of prospective monitoring for invasive aspergillosis (IA) using biomarkers such as serum galactomannan (GM) and/or blood polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in...
