RESUMO
Air treatment with a mobile Plasmair air-decontamination unit significantly reduces the fungal spore load in hematology wards. We report that this system used at a low aspiration flow does not perform total biodecontamination against filamentous fungi. Moreover, the filamentous fungus load remaining in rooms equipped with this mobile air-decontamination unit is lowest in wards in which other preventive measures against nosocomial filamentous fungal infections are implemented.
