Serial Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Aspergillus Galactomannan and Treatment Response in Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis.


ABSTRACT: We studied patients diagnosed with aspergillosis based on positive bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) who had follow-up BAL sampling within 180 days. GM trend and clinical outcome were concordant in only 60% (30/50). While useful for the initial diagnosis, BAL GM trending does not always correlate with treatment response.
