A new assay for quantitative detection of Aspergillus antigen
By EUROIMMUN
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a life-threatening mycosis with a high morbidity and mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. A newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from EUROIMMUN allows for the quantitative detection of Aspergillus antigen in patient serum or lung fluid samples, supporting early diagnosis of IA. With the option of semi-automated processing, it is especially suitable for high-throughput IA diagnostics in high-risk patients.
