Invasive fungal infections in patients with leukemia carry a high mortality rate, but early diagnosis has the potential to modify this natural history. A novel screening method using droplet-digital polymerase chain reaction in exhaled breath condensate may have a similar performance to serum galactomannan screening. Larger studies, including other molds, are necessary.
白血病患者的侵袭性真菌感染死亡率很高,但早期诊断有可能改变这种自然病程。一种在呼出气冷凝物中使用液滴数字聚合酶链反应的新型筛查方法可能与血清半乳甘露聚糖筛查具有相似的性能。有必要开展包括其他霉菌在内的更大规模研究。
