Garcia-Vidal C, et al. Environmental variables associated with an increased risk of invasive aspergillosis Clin Microbiol Infect 2014; 20:939-945 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.
Garcia-Vidal C, et al. Environmental variables associated with an increased risk of invasive aspergillosis Clin Microbiol Infect 2014; 20:939-945 No relationship between climatic conditions and airbone mould count or IA admissions was found The presence of airborne mould spores increased the risk of IA admission 6 times after the third 2-week period. 28-42 days Spearman Rho correlation 0.241; p=0.014 AI day 0 (dx)

Moreover, time to report spore inhalation and IA was shorter
