| T71 | 0-394 | Sentence | denotes | While serum galactomannan generally lacks sensitivity in non-neutropenic patients [13], and also turned out negative in this patient, further studies are needed to evaluate the benefit of serum GM screening in COVID-19 patients where bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sampling for culture and biomarker testing is often avoided due to the risk of aerosol spreading and health care worker infections. |
| T72 | 395-798 | Sentence | denotes | This seems to be of special interest as based on the data from a recently published trial, showing that GM in serum is indeed elevated in the majority of patients with severe influenza [14] on ICU and the fact that a significant amount of IPA cases on ICU are still diagnosed post-mortem only, serum GM screening may be an important tool for early recognition of IPA in critically ill COVID-19 patients. |
