Ninety-one serum samples from 51 hematology patients with bacteremia infections were tested for (1,3)-β-d-glucan (BG). Eleven samples (15%) from 7 patients (14%) were positive for BG. Of these 7 patients with positive BG results, 4 (8%) had invasive aspergillosis and 3 (6%) had no invasive fungal disease. Bacteremia was an unlikely cause of the false-positive BG results.
对51例患有菌血症感染的血液学患者的91份血清样本进行了(1,3)-β-d-葡聚糖(BG)检测。7例患者(14%)的11份样本(15%)BG检测呈阳性。在这7例BG结果为阳性的患者中,4例(8%)患有侵袭性曲霉病,3例(6%)没有侵袭性真菌病。菌血症不太可能是BG结果假阳性的原因。
