Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein and Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein as Biomarkers for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein and Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein as Biomarkers for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is crucial to prevent lethal disease in immunocompromized hosts. So far, lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) and bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) levels have not been evaluated as biomarkers for IPA. IL-8, previously in...
