Results from Screening Tests in BAL before HCT

Test Viral PCR (n = 113) Bacterial Culture (n = 123) Fungal Culture (n = 123) GM (n = 119)
No. positive, (%) 35 (31%) 22 (17%) 8 (7%) 17 (14%)
21 (18%)
Rhinovirus: 18; RSV: 3; Influenzavirus: 2; Corona: 2; Adenovirus: 2; Bocavirus: 1; Metapneumovirus: 1; Parainfluenzavirus: 1; mixed viruses: 5 H. influenza: 7; Streptococci: 3; Mycoplasma Pn: 1; Morganella: 1; Pseudomonas: 1; Stenotrophomonas: 1; Klebsiella: 1; mixed: 7 Candida species: 2; Aspergillus species: 3; Penicillium species: 3

Galactomannan in BAL > .5 = positive.

There was overlap between fungal culture results and galactomannan findings in BAL (2 of 3 Aspergillus-positive patients were also galactomannan positive, 1 patient with candida and 1 with penicillium also had positive GM) so 21 patients were considered positive for fungus.
