Clinical Trial Summary

Diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) remains a challenge in patients (pts) with hematological malignancies. The clinical significance of testing bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples both with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) ELISA is unclear, and the BAL cutoff for GM has not been clearly defined yet. Using a validated nested PCR assay and a GM ELISA, we prospectively examine BAL samples from hematological patients at high risk of PA.
