Notes |
Detection of galactomannan has also been reported in some batches of piperacillin-tazobactam and amoxicillin / clavulanic acid parenteral preparations. Therefore, semi-synthetic b - lactam treatments must be taken into account when interpreting the test. Dietary factors must also be taken into account in interpretation especially in children and patients with an altered intestinal barrier. Send sample to the laboratory without delay. Sample should be refrigerated if not transported immediately. |
