Importance of operational factors in the reproducibility of Aspergillus galactomannan enzyme immune assay.
BACKGROUND:The Platelia Aspergillus Ag assay (Bio-Rad) is designed for detecting Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) and is widely used for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis but is hampered by variable occurrences of unreproducible positive results. Frequency and origin of these unreproducible results ha...
