Abstract

Two hundred and twenty-six inpatients were examined for molds in the cancer, hematology, pulmonology, and intensive care units of a children's hospital. Seven-three air samples collected in the hospital rooms and 201 washings from hospital environmental objects were simultaneously taken. The findings suggest that molds widely spread among the inpatients and in the hospital environment of the cancer, hematology, and pulmonology units of a children's hospital. There is evidence that in children's hospital patients, mold infection is hospital-acquired in most cases. There is a disparity between risk groups for mold infection and mycoses. The group risk for infection was pulmonology unit patients with cystic fibrosis and that for the disease was immunocompromised cancer unit patients with lymphoblastic leukemia.
