摘要：
Beta-D-glucan is an essential component of the cell wall of fungi. We measured its concentration in the urine of patients with funguria using the chromogenic endotoxin assay kits, Toxicolor and Endospecy. These assay systems use the same Limulus coagulation enzymes. Since the Endospecy test detects endotoxin but not factor G, which is activated by beta-D-glucan, the beta-D-glucan concentration can be calculated by subtracting the Endospecy value from the Toxicolor value. Concentrations of beta-D-glucan were found to be significantly higher in urine samples from patients with funguria (greater-than-or-equal-to 10(3) colony-forming units/ml) than in non-infected samples.
