Serum GM is not recommended to diagnose IA in SOT recipients. (Moderate, Strong)

BAL GM is the preferred sampling method for the diagnosis of IPA in SOT recipients. (High, Strong)

BAL GM index value cutoff of ≥1.0 is preferred for the diagnosis of IA in lung and non‐lung transplant recipients, in combination with other fungal diagnostic modalities (eg, chest CT scan, culture). (Moderate, Strong)

Standardized BAL Aspergillus PCR can be used in combination with other fungal diagnostic modalities (eg, chest CT scan, BAL GM, culture) for the diagnosis of IA. (Low, Strong)

Serum or BAL β‐D‐Glucan is not recommended for early screening and diagnosis of IA in lung and liver transplant recipients. (Low, Strong)
