Abstract

In hospitals, airborne fungal contamination can have serious health effects, especially for patients with weakened immune systems. This study examines the diversity and concentration of airborne fungi in indoor environment of two hospitals in Amravati district of Maharashtra state in India. From two rural hospitals general wards, pathology, and pharmacy were surveyed for aeromycological data. The samples were collected in the month of July 2022 to September 2022. Fungal spores were captured by collecting air samples using the settle plate method. The collected samples were cultured and different species were identified through microscopic examination. The results shows that aeromycoflora was abundant in both hospitals indoor environments. Cladosporium cladosporioides showed the highest percentage contribution in both hospital environments, with 41.93% in Hospital I and 68.55% in Hospital II. In contrast, Aspergillus ochraceus had the lowest contribution in Hospital I (17.74%), while Aspergillus flavus had the lowest in Hospital II (17.74%).
