When a certain threshold is surpassed, then a diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis is likely. Although the sensitivity of the method in the serum is limited [58], it seems that galactomannan...
malnutrition, has been reported in Chinese [20] and NewYork cohort studies [21]; in these studies, low BMI was not predictive of severe forms; this may reflect the limited number of patients in this BMI range and the fact that obese patients displaying acute malnutrition were not detected. ...
