Why is it important?
Airborne fungi are probable infectious agents. Their risk increase inside the hospital environment
Perspectives
Hospital administrations should pay attention to the cleanless of AC. It is clear that AC collects air-borne fungi which can grow on filters. Fungal structures spread in an indoor environment with air current. Most of the fungi isolated here are opportunistic agents. It is necessary to clean the air dispenser and to change filters periodically.
