Aspergillus spores are ubiquitous in the environment and may become concentrated in
hospital ventilation systems. Colonization in normal hosts can lead to allergic diseases …

A double-direct sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that uses a rat anti-
galactomannan monoclonal antibody as the acceptor and detector antibody was designed …

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Aspergillus fumigatus galactomannan were
produced in rats. Seven of them, EB-A1 through EB-A7, were characterized in more detail …

We report on 44 cancer patients who had serious infections with unusual fungal pathogens
and who were cared for at our cancer center between 1974 and 1986. Twelve different …

The detection of circulating galactomannan in serum is an important tool for the early
diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. A commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay …

Aspergillus species are ubiquitous fungi and have been implicated as the causative agents
of a variety of lung disorders in humans. These disorders include allergic, saprophytic, and …

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 …

Aspergillus antigenemia was followed up in 215 consecutively observed bone marrow
transplant (BMT) patients over a period of two years, using both a latex agglutination test …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen causing an often fatal
