[Contribution of air mycological control for the prevention of invasive nosocomial aspergillosis].
This study analyses the results of systematic air sampling during 11 months in hospital areas where patients are particularly exposed to Invasive Nosocomial Aspergillosis (INA). The results demonstrate that isolement of Aspergillus fumigatus is occasional and allows the control and validation of cleaning, disinfection and filtration measures. The efficiency of this protocol suggests its prophylactic value in INA.
