Aspergillus grew in a regular Respiratory culture? I thought it took much longer for fungi to grow?

(1,3)-Beta-D-Glucan (Fungitell) - ARUP Lab Test Directory

The Fungitell test is indicated for presumptive diagnosis of fungal infection and should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures.

Must be ordered by your pulmonologist. Test can be preformed on sputum or blood, usually both. Further tests done on a bronchosopy sample can also be done. They want to be certain because the treatment is harsh and expensive and insurance required
