Mycosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Fungal Contamination of a Hospital Water System With Fusarium App.: Prospective Environmental and Medical Surveillance During a Construction Period
Fusarium are microscopic filamentous fungi that live as saprobiontics in outside
environments. They are found in the soil, the air, in water and on numerous plants. The
frequency of fusariosis is currently increasing and Fusarium-related mycoses are the 3rd
most frequent invasive mycoses. Most cases have been reported in the United States, in
France, in Italy and in Brazil. A few epidemiological studies have shown the role of water
in the appearance of mycoses in highly immunodepressed patients. Few studies have focused on
the role of water in the transmission of mycoses in hospitals. The aim of this prospective
study is to describe, in time and pace, the contamination by Fusarium sp. in the water of
two different hospitals (Dijon, Nancy), by taking into account factors such as seasons and
major works (reconstruction of a hospital). In each hospital, one reconstruction site will
be compared with a site not under reconstruction (control).
Water samples will be taken from the rooms of hospitalized patients.
