31 Garcia-Vidal C, et al. Environmental variables associated with an increased risk of invasive aspergillosis Clin Microbiol Infect 2014; 20: Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona determined daily median airborne mould concentrations. The estimations were based on continuous measurements taken at different points of the city. The Catalan Meteorological Service provided data on climatic conditions based on continuous measurements taken at the weather station in the urban area. Data on circulating respiratory virus were obtained from The Acute Respiratory Infection Surveillance Project of Catalonia. The distribution of admissions for IA in 3-tertiary teaching institutions.
