Abstract:
Bacteraemia was reported to be associated with false-positive 1→3-β-D-glucan (BG) assay results. We thus prospectively assessed the reactivity of the BG (Fungitell) in samples of 21 adults with bacteraemia: . BG was negative in all and is s therefore an unlikely cause of false positive BG in adults.
