Diagnostic potential of (1,3)-beta-D-glucan and anti-Candida albicans germ tube antibodies for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of invasive candidiasis in neutropenic adult patients

The usefulness to diagnose and monitor invasive candidiasis (IC) using beta-glucan (BG) and antibodies against Candida albicans germ tubes (CAGT) was evaluated in a twice-weekly screening of 35 episodes in neutropenic adults at high risk.
