Abstract:Prompt and accurate diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) is crucial for immunocompromised patients, including those who have received a solid organ transplant (SOT). Despite their low sensitivity, microscopic detection and conventional culture are considered the 'gold standard' methods. In conjunction with conventional culture, culture-independent assays such as serum galactomannan testing and
