Clinical Utility and Diagnostic Performance of (1→3)-β-D-Glucan in Invasive Mycoses
Clin Chem. 2026 Aug 26:hvag108. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvag108. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The BDG assay is a non-culture-based biomarker widely used in the diagnosis of invasive fungal infections, particularly among immunocompromised patients. Conventional diagnostic methods, including culture and histopathology, are limited by low sensitivity and delayed turnaround times, prompting increased reliance on adjunctive serologic … Read more
