| Abstract;We evaluated the effectiveness of the newly developed WAKO .BETA.-glucan test which measures plasma (1.RAR.3)-.BETA.-D-glucan concentrations in the diagnosis of Canada deep mycosis. This test was compared to the Cand-Tec test. The WAKO .BETA.-glucan test and Cand-Tec test were performed on 212 plasma specimens which were taken at 212 instances from 62 immunocompromised patients with serious diseases; i.e. hematopoietic malignancy, solid malignant tumor, etc. The sensitivities and specificities for the WAKO .BETA.-glucan test were 84.8 and 85.9%, respectively, and 60.9 and 80.0% for the Cand-Tec test.
