SideroTec-AsP™
The SideroTec-AsP™ is an ELISA* that enables detection of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus responsible for Invasive Aspergillosis (IA), an infection which can prove fatal to patients with other underlying conditions including those with cancer, organ transplant patients or anyone who may be immunocompromised. It is now recognised that many patients with COPD also have invasive pulmonary aspergillosis but remain undetected.
During the Covid pandemic, IA caused up to 30% of all deaths in ICU.
