Single Academic Center Experience of Unrestricted ?-d-Glucan Implementation.

ABSTRACT: We investigated serum ?-d-glucan (BDG) testing among non-neutropenic adult inpatients at an academic center where the test is unrestricted. BDG orders were inappropriate in 49% of cases due to absence of predisposing host factors or clinical picture consistent with fungal infection. Providers' knowledge about BDG was insufficient.
