Abstract

ABSTRACT The utility of galactomannan antigen for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis was evaluated in 154 liver transplant recipients. Sample agreement was 98.5%, and patient specificity was 87%. Galactomannan positivity correlated with mortality, even when controlled for the number of tests performed. Whether galactomannan positivity identifies a subgroup at risk for poor outcome warrants further evaluation.
