Abstract：
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 immunocompromised patients. The prevalent FF in IFD are species from the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, Scedosporium, and those within the order Mucorales. We have compiled regulations and described the procedures used in the clinical mycology laboratory to assess the presence of FF in areas at risk for the development of IFD. The infection control committees of each establishment implement hospital policies to regulate and control processes aimed at preventing infections. Fungal load monitoring is an important step in this process to validate air quality in order to ensure a clean and protected environment for severely immunocompromised patients.
摘要：
医院环境中的空气和表面是暴露于丝状真菌（FF）的潜在来源，可能导致严重免疫功能低下的患者的侵袭性真菌疾病（IFD）。IFD中普遍存在的FF是曲霉属的物种，镰刀菌,Scedosporium,以及Mucorales命令中的那些。我们已经编制了法规，并描述了临床真菌学实验室中使用的程序，以评估IFD发展风险区域中FF的存在。每个机构的感染控制委员会执行医院政策，以规范和控制旨在预防感染的过程。真菌负荷监测是该过程中验证空气质量的重要步骤，以确保严重免疫功能低下患者的清洁和受保护的环境。
