Eight recombinant proteins and purified galactomannan of Aspergillus fumigatus were
tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quantify the anti-Aspergillus antibodies in …

We investigated the possible presence of DNA specific for Aspergillus species in serum
samples of patients with invasive aspergillosis (IA) by the nested PCR method. Fourteen …

An ELISA for the detection and measurement of Aspergillus antigenaemia has been
developed and evaluated by examining sera submitted over a 12-month period from …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review gives an overview of the diseases caused by
Aspergillus, including a description of the species involved and the infected clinical systems …

Although it is a severe complication in immunocompromised patients, diagnosing invasive
fungal disease (IFD), especially invasive aspergillosis (IA), remains difficult. In certain …

We evaluated the utility of Aspergillus PCR as a tool in diagnosing invasive aspergillosis in
patients at risk. Aspergillosis was assessed according to the European Organization for …

We evaluated the usefulness of a serum Aspergillus PCR assay for the diagnosis and
prognosis of invasive aspergillosis in a study involving 941 patients for a total of 5146 serum …

Invasive aspergillosis occurs in a wide range of clinical scenarios, is protean in its
manifestations, and is still associated with an unacceptably high mortality rate. Early …

Invasive aspergillosis remains a devastating disease, which is partly because of the inability
to identify infected patients at an early stage of the disease. Recently, new diagnostic tests …

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples from 67 patients who were at high risk for invasive
aspergillosis were examined using a recently developed 2-step polymerase chain reaction …
