%X Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a common complication of immunosuppression.
Rapid diagnosis using molecular techniques is essential to improve patient survival.
PCR techniques are promising in enhancing Aspergillus detection in blood and respiratory
samples. We evaluate for the first time the performances of two commercial real-time
PCR kits, the A. fumigatus Bio-Evolution and the MycoGENIE A. fumigatus for the detection
of A. fumigatus DNA in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from patients with and without
IPA.
