Abstract

ABSTRACT The plasmatic levels of 1,3-β- d -glucan (BDG) were >523 pg/ml in 4 children, 2 low-birth-weight neonates and 2 stem cell transplant recipients, with the following invasive fungal diseases (IFD) proven apart from this BDG test: 3 cases of Candida parapsilosis candidemias and 1 case of disseminated aspergillosis. The BDG test may be useful for identification of IFD in pediatrics.
