First assumption:
IFD are highly lethal diseases
p<0.001
Incidence 13.3% in lung
transplant recipients

We need to intervene asap

But how can we achieve such an
early diagnosis?

No need to worry!
CT scan and
galactomannan
are there to help us out!

infections

• Lung transplant recipients
• ? Monoclonal antibodies

PCR Critical points
• Variable sensitivity / specificity
• Lack of standardised targets / reagents
• Extraction method
• Platform (conventional PCR vs Real time)
• Poor understanding of DNA kinetics
• Not yet part of the EORTC/MSG criteria
De Pauw B, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2008; 46: 1813-21
Beta-Glucan
• Detected in IFDs caused by
– Candida and Aspergillus
Ergosterol

There he is again,
speaking about a test that nobody
uses in Brazil …
The reality in Brazil
• A survey performed in collaboration
with ANVISA
140 hospitals
 >42,000 beds
 65% teaching hospitals
 90% belonging to the Sentinel Network

 Provide larger samples of tissue with
improved accuracy and specificity

Invasive diagnostic interventions
• Open lung biopsies:
 Provide larger samples of tissue with
improved accuracy and specificity
 Contradictory results
 Complication rate of 10-15%

Peripheral lesions
Bilateral /
multifocal disease
Focal lesions near the
hilum / great vessels
Needle biopsy /
Surgical resection
BAL
Urgent thoracotomy
and resection
