We will evaluate the clinical performance of each company's Beta-glucan assay reagents in various diseases of deep-seated mycosis. In addition, since there is a problem in the market that assay values differ among reagents, we aim to compare the assay values of each company and examine the compatibility between reagents of each company.
Efficacy
Confirmatory
Pragmatic
Not applicable
Primary endpoint: Diagnostic performance of Beta-glucan assay reagents
We will evaluate the application performance of each reagent by measuring specimens suspected of having deep-seated mycosis with each company's Beta-glucan assay reagent and comparing the results with the diagnostic results in a retrospective manner.
Secondary endpoint: Correlation of Beta-glucan assay reagents from various companies

Invasive fungal infections are on the rise as the number of immunocompromised patients increases. Currently, reagents for measuring Beta-D-glucan, which measure the outer wall components of fungi, are used to diagnose deep-seated mycosis and to determine the efficacy of antifungal drug therapy. The Beta-D-glucan measuring reagent is sold by two companies. The principle of measurement is the turbidimetric method, in which the presence of Beta-D-glucan causes turbidity in the reagent, and the colorimetric method, in which the presence of Beta-D-glucan causes a change in the color of the reagent and the concentration is measured by the rate of this change. There are also single-type reagents that use a single test tube for each test, and multi-type reagents that use a 96-well microplate. Each medical institution selects and uses reagents according to the purpose and situation of each facility. However, the differences in assay values among the kits of different companies have made it difficult to use the assay values from one kit to another. In this study, we will confirm the clinical performance of each company's assay reagents and compare the assay reagents of each company to examine the compatibility of assay values.
