Description
The Galactomannan Antigen Test – Serum is a specialized diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of galactomannan, a molecule found in the cell walls of certain fungi, particularly Aspergillus species. This test is crucial for the early diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis, a serious fungal infection that commonly affects immunocompromised patients. It allows for rapid detection of fungal infection before clinical symptoms appear, enabling prompt initiation of antifungal therapy. The test is particularly valuable in monitoring high-risk patients, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation, for the development of invasive fungal infections.
