There were 23 false-positive cases in this study, and the reasons are chiefly as follows: the main reason is that beta-glucan is not a species-specific marker forP. jirovecii, so the BG test in the care of immunocompromised pneumonia is “pan-fungal” in nature. Some invasive fungal infec...

First, in regards to the study group with high pretest probability of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), we agree with Dr Boyles' assessment that a negative likelihood ratio of 0.1, which confers a post-test probability of 40%, is likely not sufficient for discontinuation of empiric PCP treatment. ...
Non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)Pneumocystispneumonia (PCP) is a fulminant disease with an increasing incidence. The serum beta-d-glucan (BDG) assay is used as an adjunct to the diagnosis of PCP; however, the cut-off value for this assay is not well-defined, especially in the non-...
LACTATE dehydrogenasePNEUMOCYSTIS pneumoniaBLOOD serum analysisPOLYMERASE chain reactionWe evaluated the serum levels of (1鈥 3)-beta-d-glucan (BG) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as a tool to support pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) diagnostic procedures in non-HIV patients. We retrospectively collected ...

- Recent data demonstrate the usefulness of (1,3) beta-D-glucan (BG) Bronchoalveolar lavage detection in serum samples to distinguish patients developing Pneumocystis pneumonia and samples; patients who are colonized by the fungus. In contrast, data of BG detection in bronchoalveolar Pneumocystis ...
demonstrated in an animal in vivo model that oral glucan administration in a dose of 1 mg/kg increased survival in mice challenged with C. albicans [37]. While Indian scientists found antifungal activity of β-D-glucan nanoparticles against Pythium aphanidermatum—a soil-borne plant pathogen [...
