Plasmalyte as a Cause of False-Positive Results for Aspergillus Galactomannan in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: The detection of galactomannan (GM) in the serum of immunocompromised patients is widely used for the early diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis ([6][1]). The test may also be useful when applied to bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid specimens for clinical diagnosis ([5][2]), though not FDA approved
