Nevertheless, the presence of BDG can still be recognized by the host\u2019s innate immune system and persistent BDG antigenemia, in the absence of IFD, can result in deleterious proinflammatory immune responses.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>During the XXX (INTENSE) study into the preemptive use of micafungin to prevent invasive candidiasis (IC) after abdominal surgery, the serum burden of BDG was determined to aid diagnosis of IC. Data from the INTENSE study were analyzed to determine whether BDG was associated with organ failure and patient mortality, while accounting for the influences of IC and antifungal therapy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A BDG concentration &amp;gt;100 pg\/mL was associated with a significantly increased Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (\u2264100 pg\/mL: 2 vs &amp;gt;100 pg\/mL: 5; P &amp;lt; .0001) and increased rates of mortality (\u2264100 pg\/mL: 13.7% vs &amp;gt;100 pg\/mL: 39.0%; P = .0002). Multiple (\u22652) positive results &amp;gt;100 pg\/mL or a BDG concentration increasing &amp;gt;100 pg\/mL increased mortality (48.1%). The mortality rate in patients with IC and a BDG concentration &amp;gt;100 pg\/mL and \u2264100 pg\/mL was 42.3% and 25.0%, respectively. The mortality rate in patients without IC but a BDG concentration &amp;gt;100 pg\/mL was 37.3%.
