- The diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and disseminated aspergillosis is based on clinical observation and laboratory tests, particularly the determination of the patient’s immune status and the – predominantly recurrent – isolation of the fungus. In patients with impaired resistance, precipitins are not produced or only at a late stage. The best currently available serological technique is antigen detection (Platelia ELISA test, sensitivity of 1-2 ng/ml). Blood cultures usually remain negative.
