RESUMO
Since 1992, we have established a protocol of food management (restrictive diet, food distribution protocol and fungal surveillance) for allogeneic stem-cell transplant (SCT) recipients hospitalised in protected ward. This study analyses the results of 10-year surveillance of fungal contamination of this diet. Among the 456 types of foods tested filamentous fungi were isolated in 37 of them (8.1%). Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated in one type of food only, while the majority of the food was contaminated to a lower extent.
