Kinetics of β- d- 1,3-glucan and mannan in candidaemic patients and controls. Levels of (A) β-d- 1,3-glucan (BDG) and (B) mannan were measured in 341 sera available from 43 patients with positive blood cultures. Sera were collected as a function of the number of weeks of hospitalisation in the ICU, with D0 as the day on which the first positive blood culture was taken. Levels of (C) BDG and (D) mannan were measured in 203 sera available from 67 control patients hospitalised on the same ward as a function of number of weeks of hospitalisation (control group). cGLC, concentration of BDG; cMan, concentration of mannan.
