متن کاملGalactomannan detection for invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromized patients.
BACKGROUND Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is the most common life-threatening opportunistic invasive mycosis in immunocompromized patients. A test for IA needs to be not too invasive and not too big a burden for the already weakened patient. The serum galactomannan ELISA seems to have potential for both requirements. OBJECTIVES To obtain summary estimates of the diagnostic accuracy of galactoman...
متن کاملInvasive aspergillosis in paediatric oncology patients.
Invasive aspergillosis predominantly occurs in immunocompromised patients and is often resistant to different therapeutically strategies. However, mortality significantly increases if the central nervous system is affected. In this report we describe two cases of invasive aspergilosis, one with kidney involvement with a successful treatment while the other with pulmonary and cerebral involvemen...
