Detection of Aspergillus flavus and A. fumigatus in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Samples of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants and Patients with Hematological Malignancies by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction, Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction and Mycological Assays

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary aspergillosis (PA) is one of the most serious complications in immunocompromised patients, in particular among hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) and patients with hematological malignancies. OBJECTIVES: The current study aimed to evaluate the incidence of PA and utility of molecular methods in HSCT and patients with hematological malignancies, four methods including direct...
