Specificity Influences in (1→3)-β-<span style="font-variant: small-caps">d</span>-Glucan-Supported Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Disease

(1→3)-β-glucan (BDG) testing as an adjunct in the diagnosis of invasive fungal disease (IFD) has been in use for nearly three decades. While BDG has a very high negative predictive value in this setting, diagnostic false positives may occur, limiting specificity and positive predictive value. Althou...
