What's New in Prevention of Invasive Fungal Diseases during Hospital Construction and Renovation Work: An Overview

Ivana Marekovic

Summary: The overview provides recent data on invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) associated with construction and renovation in healthcare settings and the current evidence on prevention and infection control measures. The number of studies describing IFD outbreaks due to construction or renovation is increasing. Adequate prevention measures remain a challenge for healthcare workers, architects, and construction workers. Multidisciplinary teams play a crucial role in planning and monitoring prevention measures. Dust control is an essential part of prevention plans, and further research is needed on the effectiveness of HEPA filters. The threshold for fungal spore contamination remains undefined, and the value of antifungal prophylaxis is difficult to assess due to the concurrent use of other preventative measures. Recommendations are mainly based on limited meta-analyses, descriptive reports, and expert opinions. Outbreak reports in the literature are valuable for education and outbreak investigations.

Pathogenicity and virulence of Aspergillus fumigatus

Kayleigh Earle et al.

Summary: Pulmonary infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a mold pathogen, are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Immunosuppression, chronic respiratory conditions, and co-infections with viral or bacterial pathogens are recognized risk factors for the development of pulmonary aspergillosis. This review provides a summary of our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms and focuses on emerging at-risk populations.

Airborne Alt a 1 Dynamic and Its Relationship with the Airborne Dynamics of Alternaria Conidia and Pleosporales Spores

Concepcion De Linares et al.

Summary: This study investigated the concentration of spores from Alternaria and other Pleosporales fungi, as well as the detection of the allergen Alt a 1, using different sampling and analyzing methods. The results showed that Alt a 1 could only be detected and quantified in samples collected by the MCV sampler. Alt a 1 had a higher correlation with Alternaria spores than with Pleosporales spores, but all three showed significant correlations. In addition, Alt a 1 was highly correlated with temperature, negatively correlated with humidity, and had no correlation with precipitation.

COVID-19 Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CAPA): Hospital or Home Environment as a Source of Life-Threatening Aspergillus fumigatus Infection?

Teresa Pelaez-Garcia De La Rasilla et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether COVID-19 patients acquired aspergillosis infection in the hospital or if it was community-acquired before admission. Genotyping of clinical and environmental isolates revealed that patients did not acquire Aspergillus fumigatus in the hospital, but rather in the community environment.

Fungal exposome, human health, and unmet needs: A 2022 update with special focus on allergy

Joana Vitte et al.

Summary: Fungi, as permanent players in the human exposome, play a crucial role in human health, yet our knowledge about their distribution, pathogenic effects, and interventions remains scarce. Improved understanding of the fungal exposome sheds light on the epidemiology of fungal-related hypersensitivity diseases, their immunological substrates, and available detection methods and biomarkers. Unmet needs in this field are described, while potential approaches are highlighted for future perspectives.

Summary: Exposure to specific microbiome compositions in the built environment can impact human health and well-being. This study found that season and insulation effectiveness are important factors influencing indoor fungal communities, while the urban landscape has a weaker influence.

Molecular Epidemiology of Azole-Resistant Aspergillus fumigatus in France Shows Patient and Healthcare Links to Environmentally Occurring Genotypes

Steffi Rocchi et al.

Summary: The rise of antifungal resistance in the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is a global concern. A study in Eastern France revealed diverse patterns of resistance in both clinical and environmental sources, with a potential for nosocomial transmission. The highly mixed nature of A. fumigatus populations and the presence of both globally common and region-specific genotypes highlight the complexity of antifungal resistant aspergillosis epidemiology.

Changing Epidemiology of Invasive Fungal Disease in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pedro Puerta-Alcalde et al.

Summary: Invasive fungal disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies, especially those undergoing stem cell transplantation. The epidemiology of IFD has been evolving with changes in therapies, leading to shifts in the types of fungal infections and increasing resistance to antifungal drugs. Currently, invasive aspergillosis is the most frequent IFD, and there is a rise in azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus isolates in certain regions.
