Race against time: new test aims to spot deadly fungal infections faster in critically ill patients
NCT ID NCT03469401
Summary
This study tested a faster lab method to detect fungal infections in the abdominal fluid of critically ill ICU patients with peritonitis. It compared a new test that looks for a fungal cell wall component (BD glucan) to the standard, slower culture method. The goal was to see if the new test could help doctors start life-saving antifungal treatment sooner.
