Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients. Prompt and non-invasive methods for diagnosing IA are needed to improve the management of this life-threatening infection in patients with hematological disorders. In summary, this retrospective review of studies performed on the two assays finds that both assays have high sensitivity and specificity but are more useful when used together as a diagnostic strategy for patients with invasive aspergillosis.
侵袭性曲霉病（IA）是免疫功能低下患者发病和死亡的重要原因。需要快速且非侵入性的IA诊断方法，以改善对血液系统疾病患者这种危及生命感染的管理。总之，对这两种检测方法进行的回顾性研究发现，这两种检测方法均具有高灵敏度和特异性，但作为侵袭性曲霉病患者的诊断策略联合使用时更有用。
