A member asked:
Is aspergillus mucor a hospital acquired infection. i know of the more common ones, such as vre, pseudomonas, urinary tract, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hospital acquired aspergillus accounted for 1.3% of nosocomial fungal infections such as pneumonia from 1980-1990. However, in specialized care units like bone marrow transplant units it can account for 33% of nosocomial pneumonia. It especially affects patients with poor immune systems from cancer, chemotherapy, organ transplants, or high dose steroids. Mucor affects similar patients.
