简要总结

RATIONALE: Studying ways to diagnose fungal infections early may help doctors plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying laboratory tests to see how well they find aspergillosis early in patients at high risk of fungal infection caused by treatment for hematologic cancer or other disease.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the test characteristics of galactomannan (GM) ELISA using serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from patients at high risk of invasive fungal infection.
  • Determine the test characteristics of aspergillus PCR using blood and BALF samples collected from these patients.
  • Evaluate the role of noninvasive exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in detecting invasive aspergillosis (IA).
  • Determine whether repeated measures over time or a combination of markers improves the test characteristics.
  • Establish cutoff points for the diagnosis of IA.

Secondary

  • Determine the inflammatory marker and cytokine profile of EBC in fungal infection and after bone marrow transplantation as a marker of acute lung injury.
  • Assess the role of bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage in identifying the causal pathogen early in the disease course of febrile neutropenic patients.
  • Assess the role of GM ELISA in prognosis and response to treatment for IA.
  • Assess the role of aspergillus PCR in prognosis and response to treatment for IA.
