Galactomannan testing might be useful for early diagnosis of fusariosis

Małgorzata Mikulska et al. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 2012 Apr.

Abstract

Galactomannan (GM) is used to diagnose aspergillosis. We present a case of a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipient with fusariosis who received early antifungal treatment based on GM positivity. Additionally, 3 Fusarium isolates tested positive for GM. Fusarium is another mold containing GM. GM might be useful for diagnosing fusariosis in high-risk patients.
