Evaluation of the Dynamiker® Fungus (1-3)-β-D-Glucan Assay for the Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis in High-Risk Patients with Hematologic Malignancies

Maria Siopi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of the Dynamiker (R) Fungus (1-3)-beta-D-glucan assay (DFA) for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis (IA) and found that it was highly consistent with the well-established Fungitell (R) assay (FA). The study also found that using consecutive positive samples as the criterion for diagnosing IA improved the negative predictive value in high-risk patients with hematologic malignancies.
