Qualitative results of serological tests performed in 16 patients with chronic aspergillosis.

- no reagent; +: reagent.
1-Aspergillus fumigatus antigen
2-Pool of antigens from Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus
Q = 119.34 (p<0.00001)
DID1vs DID2: p = 0.36; DID1vs ELISA1: p = 0.11; DID1vs ELISA2: p = 0.03; DID1vs GM: p = 0.06
DID2vs ELISA1: p = 0.11; DID2vs ELISA2: p = 0.03; DID2vs GM: p = 0.09; ELISA1vs ELISA2: p = 0.50; ELISA1vs GM: p = 0.50; ELISA2vs GM: p = 0.36
Frequencies followed by the same letter do not differ (p>0.05); frequencies followed by different letters are statistically different (p≤0.05) presented a tendency a statistical difference (0.05 < p ≤ 0.10).
Comparisons carried out among the double agar gel immunodiffusion test (DID) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using two antigenic preparations, and galactomannan (GM). Comparisons performed by Cochran Q test, McNemar test, and the bionomial test.
