Comparison of the Equivalence of <i>Aspergillus</i> Antigen and <scp>PCR</scp> Results Between Non‐Directed Bronchial Lavage and Bronchoalveolar Lavage—A Prospective Exploratory Pilot Study in Critically Ill Patients
Our findings demonstrate that the detection of Aspergillus GM using EIA or Aspergillus PCR in BL is comparable to that in BAL. Thus, BL samples can be reliably used for diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
