Proper diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis is challenging as conventional methods lack sensitivity and are complicated due to time-consuming incubation processes. In order to meet the requirement for early diagnosis the new Aspergillus specific point-of-care test LFA-IMMYTM was evaluated with respect to the ability to accurately detect Aspergillus in broncho-alveolar fluids and sputa and to clarify the potential of cross reactivity with other fungal pathogens.

Abstract
Proper diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis is challenging as conventional methods lack sensitivity and are complicated due to time-consuming incubation processes. In order to meet the requirement for early diagnosis the new Aspergillus specific point-of-care test LFA-IMMYTM was evaluated with respect to the ability to accurately detect Aspergillus in broncho-alveolar fluids and sputa and to clarify the potential of cross reactivity with other fungal pathogens.
