Longitudinal analysis ofAspergillus-specific T-cell responses in 4 patients with invasive aspergillosis after allogeneic SCT.

Long-term control of invasive aspergillosis was associated with a lymphoproliferative response to EC SAB and a dominant release of IFN-γ (patient no. 1), whereas a low SI (patient no. 2) or a dominant release of IL-10 (patients no. 8 and 11) was found to be associated with disease dissemination and fatal outcome of invasive aspergillosis after allogeneic SCT. ⋄, stimulation index;, IFN-γ; and, IL-10.
