Compilation of regulations and procedures for monitoring filamentous fungi in hospital environments

Air and surfaces in the hospital environment are a potential source of exposure to filamentous fungi (FF) that could cause invasive fungal diseases (IFD) in severely immuno compromised patients. The prevalent FF in IFD are species from the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, Scedosporium, and those with...

El aire y las superficies en el ambiente hospitalario son una fuente poten cial de exposición a hongos filamentosos (HF) que pueden causar enfermedades fúngicas invasivas (EFI) en pacientes con inmunocompromiso grave. Los HF prevalentes en EFI son especies que pertenecen a los géneros Aspergillus, Fusarium, Scedosporium y los del orden Mucorales. Recopilamos regulaciones y describimos procedimientos que se utilizan en el labora torio de micología clínica para evaluar la presencia de HF en el ambiente de áreas de riesgo para el desarrollo de EFI. El comité de control de infecciones de cada establecimiento implementa políticas hospitalarias destinadas a regular y controlar procesos para prevenir infecciones. La monitorización de la carga fúngica es un eslabón en esta cadena y está dirigida a validar la calidad del aire, con el fin de asegurar un entorno limpio y protegido para el paciente. © 2024 Asociacion´ Argentina de Microbiolog´ıa. 2024-12-06T13:47:20Z 2024-12-06T13:47:20Z 2024 Artículo 0325-7541 (impreso) 1851-7617 (online) https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/19188 10.1016/j.ram.2024.02.001 eng Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ application/pdf Asociación Argentina de Microbiología Revista Argentina de Microbiología. 2024, 56 (3)
