Official Title: Prospective Study on the Interest of ß 1-3 D Glucan Assays in Screening for the Onset of Invasive Aspergillosis in Neutropenic Patients With Acute Leukaemia.

Brief Summary: In the context of screening for infectious fungal diseases in patients with malignant haemopathy, and particularly patients with acute leukaemia, the investigator aims to evaluate the performance of an already commercialized but little used serum screening test (Fungitell® test) and to determine its place in the management strategy for invasive aspergillosis.

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon

Current Primary Outcome: Comparison of the results of the 1-3 ß D glucan serum assay obtained with the Fungitell® test and the test currently used (in terms of specificity, sensitivity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value [ Time Frame: 8 to 10 assays over 4 to 5 weeks of hospitalization ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
