Detection of Aspergillus fumigatus in Blood Samples from Critically Ill Patients in Intensive Care Units by Use of the SeptiFast Assay.

Joerg Steinmann1, Jan Buer2, Peter-Michael Rath2.   

Abstract

We retrospectively analyzed the performance and relevance of the SeptiFast assay in detecting Aspergillus fumigatus DNA in whole blood samples from 38 critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients with probable or proven invasive aspergillosis (IA) and 100 ICU patients without IA. The assay exhibited 66% sensitivity, 98% specificity, a 93% positive predictive value, and an 88% negative predictive value. A. fumigatus DNAemia was associated with poor outcome.
