Community-acquired invasive aspergillosis and outdoor filamentous fungal spore load: a relationship?

Community-acquired invasive aspergillosis and outdoor filamentous fungal spore load: a relationship?

The daily number of outdoor spores was counted and the cases of community-acquired invasive aspergillosis (IA) were observed over a period of 31 months. The outdoor fungal load preceding IA occurrences was significantly higher than that measured during IA-free periods, underlining the importance of...

Zusammenfassung:The daily number of outdoor spores was counted and the cases of community-acquired invasive aspergillosis (IA) were observed over a period of 31 months. The outdoor fungal load preceding IA occurrences was significantly higher than that measured during IA-free periods, underlining the importance of preventive measures to protect high-risk patients, even at home.
