Cell wall arabinogalactan is responsible for Fungitell® cross reactivity in nocardiosis

2024-08-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Nocardiosis is a serious infection in immunosuppressed patients, especially transplant recipients. The slow-growing phenotype of the bacterium and the variety of symptoms complicate diagnosis and delay antimicrobial therapy, which results in high mortality rates despite effective treatments. Incidentally, some nocardiosis patients test positive in fungal diagnostics that detect (1,3) β−D-glucan...
