OBJECTIVES: Aspergillus-specific IgG antibody (Asp IgG) has been successfully applied in the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. We explored its value in nonneutropenic invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) by a multicenter, prospective, and controlled study.
METHODS: We enrolled 372 clinically suspected nonneutropenic patients with IPA from February 2015 to August 2022. After excluding 4 cases with Aspergillus colonization, the remaining 368 cases were finally confirmed as patients with IPA (n = 99), or non-IPA patients (n = 269) consisting of community-acquired pneumonia (n = 206), tuberculosis (n = 22), nontuberculous mycobacteria (n = 5), lung abscess (n = 6), or noninfectious diseases (n = 30). Asp IgG in plasma samples was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS: At cut-off value of ≥80 AU/mL, Asp IgG had much higher sensitivity (59.6% vs. 19.2%, p < 0.0001), but lower specificity (77.0% vs. 96.3%, p < 0.0001) than serum galactomannan (GM) (cut-off value of ≥1.0), and similar sensitivity (59.6% vs. 55.6%, p = 0.611) but lower specificity (77.0% vs. 91.2%, p = 0.001) than bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) GM (cut-off value of ≥1.0), respectively. Combination diagnosis of either positive for Asp IgG or BALF GM had higher sensitivity (81.0% vs. 55.6%, p = 0.002), but lower specificity (75.2% vs. 91.2%, p = 0.001) than BALF GM alone. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that Asp IgG had an optimal diagnostic value when the cut-off value was 56.6 AU/ml, and the sensitivity and specificity were 77.8% and 63.9%, respectively.
DISCUSSIONS: The diagnostic value of Asp IgG for IPA is superior to serum GM, and a little inferior to BALF GM in nonneutropenic patients with IPA. Considering the convenience of taking blood samples, it is a good screening and diagnostic method for nonneutropenic patients with IPA, especially for those who cannot bear invasive procedures.
