Abstract:
The usefulness of a commercial test for mannose detection in the diagnosis of invasive candidosis was evaluated. Serum mannose was observed in 20 of 22 patients with invasive candidal infection, in a concentration greater than or equal to 60 mumol/l. In 68.2% of them, serum mannose concentration was significant (greater than or equal to 60 mumol/l). The specificity of the test was 91.8%. Efficiency, predictive value positive and negative were 77.5, 58.8 and 94.6%, respectively.
