pubmed:abstractText
Western-blot immunoassay of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens of patients with central nervous system (CNS) aspergillosis (3), CNS candidosis (1) and bacterial meningitis (2) was carried out using pooled serum from histopathologically proven deep-seated aspergillosis cases to detect unique antigenic fractions for aspergillosis in CSF. No reactivity was observed in patients with non-fungal meningitis. Four cross-reactive bands (40, 90, 200 and > 200 KD) were detectable in CSF from patients with both aspergillosis and candidosis of the CNS. Four additional bands (90-200 KD) were consistently present only in patients with aspergillosis. One prominent band (110 KD) was found only in the patient with aspergillosis who had a fatal outcome and raised the possibility of being a poor prognostic marker.
