Application of Diagnostic Stewardship to Fungal Polymerase Chain Reaction: Low Yield of Follow-up Testing on Plasma and Bronchoalveolar Lavage After a Negative Result
Fungal PCR follow-up testing on plasma and BAL within 4 weeks of a prior negative result was of low yield and rarely generated a positive result considered clinically significant in the first week.
