Detecting serum galactomannan to diagnose acute invasive Aspergillus sinusitis: a meta-analysis

ConclusionIn this current meta-analysis, the serum galactomannan test was classified as less accurate for purposes of diagnosing confirmed AIAS. These results suggest that the initial diagnosis of AIAS should not solely be dependent upon serum galactomannan test results. More studies of the test are needed in patients with AIAS to more accurately assess its diagnostic value.
