“…Several DNA fingerprinting studies have examined the role of catheters (184,310,410), peritoneal dialysis (412), prosthetic valves (51), glycerin suppositories (412), hospital construction (51), and the general hospital environment (38,124,178,203,401). In most of these studies, there was proof or suggestion from the DNA fingerprinting data that either treatment or environment played a role in the transmission of nosocomial infections.…”

“…These infections are attributed to a wide range of chemical, physical or biological pollutants, and/or contaminants, which were introduced or even produced in the environment (Hunter et al 1988, Rom et al 1991, Loudon et al 1996, Stone 2000.…”

“…16 Another report traced a cluster of cutaneous Aspergillus n. infections, which occurred on a transplant unit to a kitchen adjacent to the unit. 17 These reports reinforced the fact that Aspergillus can spread to patients through air, food, or direct contact. The latter data were corroborated by a publication that confirmed the isolation of 367 molds in hospital air and from 23 patients.…”

This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of female genital Aspergillus infections. Additionally, the study explored whether genital Aspergillus infections were associated with Aspergillus infections elsewhere (e.g., pulmonary, cardiac, orthopedic, or ophthalmologic). Between October 2005 and October 2007 vulvovaginal fungal cultures were performed for all patients seen in the Vulvar Disorders Center at the Good Samaritan Hospital (Cincinnati, OH) and similarly at Wright State Medical School Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Dayton, OH). Prospectively, any cultures showing Aspergillus species were segregated and a running list totaling 16 patients was maintained. The patients were all followed and examined at each subsequent visit for genital and extragenital disease. The patients responded to therapy with a culture-proven elimination of the fungus. Sporanox ® (itraconozole; Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Titusville, NJ) 200 mg daily for 30 days proved to be the most objectively effective agent for fungus elimination. No systemic Aspergillus infections were observed during the follow-up period. (J GY-NECOL SURG 24:55) 55
