Background
Organising pneumonia (OP) is reported in patients with haematologic malignancy suspected of having invasive mould disease, yet little is known about this relationship.
Objective
To investigate molecular evidence of invasive mould pneumonia in paraffin‐embedded lung tissues from histologically diagnosed OP patients with suspected invasive mould pneumonia.
Patients/Methods
Patients with...
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of real‐time (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on blood samples for diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis in patients with suspected invasive mould infection.
Methods
Adult patients with suspected invasive mould infection were prospectively enrolled at a tertiary referral hospital in Seoul, South Korea between 2017...
Background and objectives
There are limited data in real clinical practice on the diagnostic value of a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid galactomannan (GM) assay in patients with suspected invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) who had negative serum GM results. Thus, we investigated the diagnostic performance of a BAL GM assay in patients with negative serum GM assay results who were suspected...
Background
Pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) represents a serious burden in terms of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Studies of prognostic factors in patients with PM are limited and have involved small numbers of patients.
Methods
Adult patients diagnosed with proven and probable PM according to the modified definitions of the EORTC/MSG 2008 in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South...
Objective
To investigate the accuracy of immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests for distinguishing between mucormycosis and aspergillosis and compare the clinical characteristics of mucormycosis patients according to galactomannan (GM) results.
Methods
We evaluated diagnostic performance of IHC test with tissue sections of patients with culture‐proven invasive fungal infection. In addition, we conducted...
