Abstract

Objective: The percentage of large unstained cells (%LUCs) reflects peroxidase-negative cells and activated lymphocytes. Unlike other infections, the value of %LUCs in the diagnosis of fungal infections is not clear. We aimed to evaluate %LUCs and its correlations with other inflammatory parameters of invasive aspergillosis (IA) patients.
