Demonstration of antigenemia in patients with invasive aspergillosis by solid phase (protein A-rich Staphylococcus aureus) radioimmunoassay.
A solid phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) was used to detect Aspergillus antigenemia in three patients, two with autopsy proved disseminated aspergillosis and one with a suspected infection. These RIA studies suggest that screening for antigenemia may be a specific and sensitive diagnostic test for disseminated aspergillosis.
