“…[11][12][13] Frequencies of mould onychomycosis in European countries like Austria, Estonia, Italy, and Spain were reported as about 5%, 7%, 8%, and 17.2%, respectively. [14][15][16][17] The prevalence in North America is 4.3% in Canada and 20% in the United States, whereas in South America 4.5 and 9.5% in two different centers in Colombia and 1% in Argentina. [18][19][20][21] Tosti performed a mycological study on 1548 patients affected by nail disorders and diagnosed 431 cases of onychomycosis out of which 59 were caused by moulds.…”

“…Some of the species identified can be Tinea pedis and onychomycosis etiological agents, namely dermatophytes such as T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum [4], NDM including the genera Fusarium, Scytalidium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Phoma [9] and yeasts belonging the genera Candida, Trichosporon and Cryptococcus [10,11]. Most authors diagnose as the most frequent etiological agents the dermatophytes (80 to 90%), followed by yeasts (5 to 17%) and finally NDM (2 to 12%) [9]. Regarding dermatophytes, the species T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes were isolated in 5 gyms with swimming pools and may have been spread by individuals with injury or asymptomatic individuals, due to the fact that dermatophytes can be isolate in individuals without injury [13] and there are anthropophilic species.…”

Fungal contamination of the floor in 10 gyms with swimming pools was monitored. One hundred and twenty swab samples were collected: 60 before and 60 after cleaning operations. The samples were taken near the pool and jacuzzi, in surrounding the pool access stairs, in training studios and in male and female showers and changing rooms. Simultaneously, environmental parameterstemperature and relative humidity -were also monitored. Thirty-seven different species of fungi were identified. Among those species, Fusarium sp. was the operations. Twelve different species of yeasts were identified. The most identified genera before cleaning was Cryptococcus (40,6%), and after cleaning was Candida (49,3%). The difference between before and after cleaning operations was statistically significant (p<0,05) for fungi in pool access stairs and jacuzzi, and for yeasts in male showers and changing rooms. Taking into account the average values of fungal contamination the decreased due to cleaning procedures only occurred in male shower and changing rooms and only in yeasts count. The fungal contamination showed no significant relationship (p>0,05) with temperature and relative humidity.

Risk Analysis VII

A descriptive study was developed to create and implement a risk assessment methodology for fungal infection in gymnasium workers. The infection was considered to occur through skin-surface contact. A pool of 10 gyms with swimming pools (the busiest of the 30 existing in Lisbon) was assessed for surface fungal contamination. Surface sampling was done before and after cleaning and disinfection procedures in 60 locations, which accounted for a total of 120 samples (6 from each of 10 gymnasiums at the following sites: floor surrounding the swimming pool; floor surrounding the Jacuzzi; stairs accessing the swimming pool area; floor of the training studios where most of the bare foot activities took place and changing/locker rooms for each gender. Risk assessment methodology was applied: the authors considered Severity to be dependent on the fungal species present; Probability was considered as the product between Frequency and Exposure. For each establishment, the fungal contamination mean value was calculated prior and after cleaning and disinfection in order to establish Frequency levels. Regarding Exposure, weekly hours spent in professional activity were divided into group intervals. Surprisingly, when comparing before and after cleaning and disinfection, the number of places considered to have a High Risk for fungal infection was higher in the last case. There were no training studios with High Risk of fungal Risk Analysis VII PI-573 infection, and the places with the more High Risk score for fungal infection were the floors surrounding the swimming pool and the Jacuzzi.
