Abstract
The consensus definitions of invasive fungal diseases from the EORTC/MSGERC were recently revised and updated. They now include consensus cutoff values for the galactomannan test that support the diagnosis of probable invasive aspergillosis. In this supplement article, we provide a rationale for these proposed thresholds based on the test's characteristics and performance in different patient populations and in different specimen types.
