Immunoglobulins and/or therapeutic antibody preparations are associated with a high rate of false-positive (1,3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) tests in onco-hematological patients routinely screened for fungal infections. The benefit of BDG monitoring shall be balanced against the risk of false-positive tests leading to unnecessary investigations and costs in this population.
免疫球蛋白和/或治疗性抗体制剂与肿瘤血液病患者中真菌感染常规筛查时(1,3)-β-D-葡聚糖(BDG)试验的高假阳性率相关。在该人群中,BDG 监测的益处应与假阳性试验导致不必要的检查和费用的风险相平衡。
