DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myac049
Abstract: Fusarium spp. are plant pathogens and opportunistic pathogens in severely immunocompromised (hematological malignancy, neutropenia, solid organ transplantation, …) and severely burned patients. Invasive fusariosis often disseminates and mortality remains high partly due to delayed diagnosis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myw052
Abstract: Abstract (1,3) β‐D‐Glucan (BDG) is present in the cell wall of most fungi. Its detection in serum has been useful in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) in patients with hematologic malignancies. However, assaying for… read more here.

Evaluation of biomarkers: Galactomannan and 1,3-beta-D-glucan assay for the diagnosis of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients from a tertiary care centre
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology"
DOI: 10.4103/ijmm.ijmm_18_366
Abstract: Purpose: Due to limitations of traditional microbiological techniques, standardised fungal biomarker tests such as Galactomannan Index (GMI) and 1,3-beta-D-glucan (BDG) are being preferred for diagnosis of invasive fungal infections (IFIs). These tests have been extensively… read more here.
