In this article, frequently asked questions regarding β-D glucan (BDG) and presepsin are answered. BDG and presepsin may be surrogate markers of invasive fungal infectious diseases (IFI) and sepsis, respectively, in critically ill patients. However, they are not sufficiently sensitive or specific to establish the diagnosis of IFI or sepsis in critical care settings. BDG lacks evidence to support its use as a trigger to initiate antifungal therapy in patients at risk of IFI in the ICU. BDG is potentially beneficial to reduce exposure to antifungal agents without adversely affecting clinical outcomes when it is used to make the decision to discontinue antifungal therapy in patients with IFI. Presepsin may be useful for severity stratification in patients with sepsis and is potentially used as one factor in the inclusion criteria for interventional trials.
