Abstract
- We compared a lateral flow device to galactomannan and (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan assays to detect invasive aspergillosis in an established guinea pig model of pulmonary disease. The lateral flow device became positive earlier (day 3) than the (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan and galactomannan assays (day 5), with all samples positive by each assay on day 7.
