The incidence of false‐positive serum galactomannan (GM) enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay test results has been scarcely examined among older subjects. Additionally, previous studies have highlighted the influence of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels on GM test results. We hypothesised that age‐related IgG level elevation might also be associated with false‐positive GM test results in older subjects.
