In 2 prospective studies, we previously reported on the early and accurate diagnosis of invasive candidiasis by determining the D-arabinitol/L-arabinitol (DA/LA) ratio in urine in neutropenic children with cancer at the paediatric... more
IgG antibodies against pneumococcal surface protein A, family 1 (PspA1) and family 2 (PspA2), protein C (PspC), and protein Hic were investigated in 41 patients with invasive pneumococcal disease. Pre-existing antibody levels against the... more
Infants treated in neonatal intensive care units suffer an increased risk for invasive candidiasis, but the diag- nosis is sometimes difficult. D-arabinitol is a metabolite of most pathogenic Candida species. An elevated urine... more
Determination of D-arabinitol/L-arabinitol ratios (referred to as D/L-arabinitol ratios) in urine as a tool for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis was investigated in a prospective study comprising 100 children with cancer. The... more
