(1,3)-β-D-glucan (BD) assays were developed as a method to rapidly diagnose invasive candidiasis (IC). The incidence of fungal infections and the demands for BD assay are gradually increasing in patients with severe trauma and under intensive care. However, the ideal BD cut-off value to predict IC has not been clarified. In this study, we evaluate the predictability of the BD assay and investigate the optimal cut-off value in patients with severe burn injuries. From July to December 2018, 134 samples from 86 patients with severe bur
