Risk factors and clinical outcomes of serum Aspergillus galactomannan antigen (AGA) positivity in lung transplantation
Serum AGA positivity is an early biomarker for increased infectious and thrombotic complications in lung transplant recipients. Routine AGA surveillance in post-transplant management may facilitate early identification of high-risk patients, allowing for timely interventions. Further prospective studies are warranted to assess the utility of AGA monitoring in optimizing lung transplant outcomes.
