Galactomannan detection in Geotrichum capitatum invasive infections: report of 2 new cases and review of diagnostic options
2008
We report 2 cases of Geotrichum capitatum infection in leukemia patients for which Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) assay was positive. The diagnostic options of G. capitatum infections in hematologic patients were reviewed. Although the pathogen was isolated from blood in 77% of cases, diagnostic difficulties remain and GM assay may have a role.
