Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I wish I could get this test. I read about it last year but noone thinks I could have aspergillus infection, yet I am so sick with something. How do they know? > FDA Clears Rapid Test for Aspergillus Infection >> > The new test, the Platelia Aspergillus EIA, manufactured by Bio-Rad Laboratories, of Redmond, Wash., detects Aspergillus galactomannan antigen in blood, and is a good indicator of invasive infection. Results are available in about three hours. By comparison, the standard culture method of testing for aspergillus takes a minimum of four weeks before results are available. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
