However, we were unable to establish test specificity/sensitivity due to lack of a gold standard, insensitivity of aspergillus species culture and lack of concurrent serum GM assay (proven and probable cases).
Thus, the strategy we adopted for this 4-year field study to detect human health effects of recurring occupational exposure to an organism that may or may not actually make a toxin (that may or may not affect humans), and that may or may not cause fish kills and fish lesions, was to simply monitor for the organism itself, with an assay proven to be able to detect "toxic" strains.
