ASPERGILLUS GALACTOMANNAN ANTIGEN
What does ASPERGILLUS GALACTOMANNAN ANTIGEN measure?
This test detects galactomannan, a component of the cell wall of Aspergillus fungi. It may be used to support the evaluation of suspected invasive aspergillosis, particularly in people with weakened immune systems or certain lung conditions. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, imaging findings, medical history, and other laboratory tests, as galactomannan levels may vary depending on the clinical situation.
