Abstract
Invasive aspergillosis is encountered with increasing frequency in the immunocompromised host which results in a high rate of mortality. The antemortem diagnosis of this opportunistic mycosis is very difficult. Consequently, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and radioimmunoassays for circulating antigen have been developed (M.D. Richardson, L.O. White, R.C. Warren, 1979, Mycopathologia, 67:83; J.R. Sabetta, P. Miniter, V.T. Andriole, 1985, J. Infect. Dis., 152:946; M.H. Weiner, G.H. Talbot, S.L. Gerson, 1983, Ann. Intern. Med., 99:777).
