Detection of Aspergillus fumigatus in a Rat Model of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis by Real-Time Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification
4 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
Rapid and sensitive detection of Aspergillus from clinical samples may facilitate the early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). A real-time nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) method was investigated by use of an inhalational rat model of IPA. Immunosuppressed male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to Aspergillus fumigatus spores for an hour in an aerosol chamber. Bronchoalveolar...
