Usefulness of Aspergillus Galactomannan Antigen Testing and the Prediction of an Outbreak during Hospital Reconstruction.

Conclusion Many Aspergillus spores may be transiently floating during hospital reconstruction. Therefore, monthly surveillance with frequent serum galactomannan antigen testing to predict outbreaks is necessary. Surveillance of all patients in the hematology ward is especially important. Reconsideration of prophylactic antifungals may also be necessary during hospital reconstruction. PMID: 29526943 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
