Summary
This study looked at whether measuring a substance called BD glucan in the belly fluid of ICU patients with peritonitis can diagnose fungal infections faster than standard lab tests. Standard tests can take days, but this new method might give results sooner, allowing earlier treatment. The study involved 126 adults in intensive care who had peritonitis.
