An observational cohort study of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid galactomannan and<i>Aspergillus</i>culture positivity in patients requiring mechanical ventilation

2024-02-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Rationale</h4> Critically ill patients who develop invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) have high mortality rates despite antifungal therapy. Diagnosis is difficult in these patients. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid galactomannan (GM) is a helpful marker of infection, although the optimal cutoff for IPA is unclear.
