We studied patients diagnosed with aspergillosis based on positive bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) galactomannan (GM) who had follow-up BAL sampling within 180 days. GM trend and clinical outcome were concordant in only 60% (30/50). While useful for the initial diagnosis, BAL GM trending does not always correlate with treatment response.
我们研究了那些根据支气管肺泡灌洗(BAL)半乳甘露聚糖(GM)检测呈阳性而被诊断为曲霉病且在180天内进行了随访BAL采样的患者。GM趋势与临床结果仅在60%(30/50)的患者中一致。虽然BAL GM检测趋势对初始诊断有用,但它并不总是与治疗反应相关。
