The aim of the study is to evaluate the performance of a commercially available Aspergillus fumigatus real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), alone and in combination with GM, in BAL samples form patients at high risk of IA, and with various radiological lesions, including those receiving mould active antifungals. The prevalence of positive and negative results of BAL GM and Aspergillus fumigatus qPCR in four different IA diagnostic categories, divided also into patients receiving and not mould active agents at the time of BAL, is reported as supplement in Table S1 . ./cache/cord-286346-h87vcmrd.txt ./txt/cord-286346-h87vcmrd.txt
