Abstract
Anti-Aspergillus fumigatus alkaline protease IgG was investigated by W estern blot. Specific IgG antibodies were detected in sera of two of n ine patients with proven or highly probable invasive aspergillosis and in sera of one of eight patients with proven or highly probable aller gic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. No response was obtained in sera o f 23 control patients. The specific but transient IgG response to this induced enzyme does not recommend its use as sole serodiagnostic aid.
