Fungal Biomarkers: Beta-D-Glucan and Aspergillus Galactomannan
Beta-D-Glucan:
 • Polysaccharide cell wall component of many fungi
 • Pathogens:
component of many fungi ... - Negative: Cryptococcus ... post-2010 almost never ... closely related fungi ... setting of GVHD) ID
Mycoses

HISTOPLASMOSIS
• Inhalation of conidia → Yeast → travel to lymph nodes → spread in body
• Bird
respiratory symptoms • Fever ... nonspecific • DX ... highly sensitive Cryptococcosis ... • Isolated fever ... Diagnosis: • β-D-glucan
