ABSTRACT A real-time PCR method was developed and used to detect Aspergillus
fumigatus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids and tissue …

A competitive PCR assay involving the use of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples for the
diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) was developed. For this purpose, a 1-kb …
