[Fungal and parasitic nosocomial infections: importance and limitations of disinfection methods].
Due to the increase of opportunistic mycosis and parasitosis for several years, the management of fungal and parasitic risk in hospital has become a necessity and an obligation. The authors remind the main rules and knowledges essential to an optimal management of the fungal and parasitic disinfection in hospital. They summarize the efficiency of different disinfection processes in relation to yeasts, filamentous fungi, Pneumocystis carinii, Cryptosporidia and Microsporidia involved in hospital pathology.
