Galactomannan detection in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid corrected by urea dilution for the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis among nonneutropenic patients.
Conclusions: The corrected BALF GM was valuable for diagnosing IPA in nonneutropenic patients. The modified AspICU clinical algorithm based on this measurement represents a reliable diagnostic instrument in clinical settings.
