We observed false-positive results in the Platelia Aspergillus enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) for specimens from patients with histoplasmosis and mice with experimental infection. Platelia Aspergillus EIA-positive specimens were negative in the second-generation Histoplasma antigen EIA. Care must be taken to exclude histoplasmosis for patients with positive Platelia Aspergillus EIA results.
