Fungi are ubiquitous in our environment, only a few people realize how intimately our lives are related to these fungi. Mycotic diseases of men are an emerging public health problem which receives growing alternate from the health authorities. The inter-human, man-animal and man-environment relationship constitute the prime factors that explain the presence or absence of the infection. Special human activities and changes in human behavior are responsible for different susceptibilities in individual populations. Noscomial infections are transmitted in hospital through three main environmental routes-air, surface contact and water. This study reports the result of environmental surveillance of fungi in specific areas of Private Hospital of Jabalpur (M.P.). The air samples in the hospital yielded Aspergillus, Alternaria, Candida, Fusarium, Rhizopus, Penicillium, Tricophyton, and Microsporum. The dust samples were positive for Aspergillus, Alternaria and Fusarium. The sample of drinking water of the hospital no fungi was isolated.
ABSTRACT-Invasive fungal infections have become a major source of morbidity and mortality in post operative patients. Critically ill patients after extended surgical procedure are more risk to post surgical fungal infections. Life saving devices like central venous catheters can increases risk for fungal infections. Surgical infections are infections of the tissues, organs or spaces exposed by surgeons during performances of surgical procedure. Mold infection is increasingly common in post operative patients. Postoperative surgical infection represents an uncommon but potentially devastating complication of surgery. Unfortunately, medical community is not much aware of such secondary infections due to fungi in post operative patients leading to grave consequences. Better diagnostic methods are needed to improve the outcome of successful surgery and better health care for public. The diagnosis of invasion and dissemination in the majority of cases requires the acquisition and proper interpretation of clinical evidence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
