Case Report on Fungal Infection in Post Operative Patient

Abstract

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.
