Abstract
Background: Prophylactic antifungal treatments as well as an appropriate protective
environment are essential for prevention of
invasive fungal infections in the immunocompromised patients. h e aim of our study
was to determine the species and concentrations of airborne moulds in various hospital
indoor environments as well as the immediate outdoor environment. We have also tested
three dif erent growth media in an attempt to
establish which one is the most appropriate
for air sampling.
Methods: Between October 2007 and March
2008 air samples have been collected from
two construction sites at UMC Ljubljana and
the immediate outdoor environment with
no construction works as well as in a regular
hospital ward and an ICU of UMC Ljubljana.
h e recovered moulds were then identified
