| dc.description.abstract | Immunosuppressed patients are at increased risk of developing hospital-acquired fungal infections. The risk of fungal infection from construction is well established, but water ingress also presents a risk if it is not dealt with promptly. This article describes four such scenarios and the learning points from each. Water ingress may go under-reported and, as such, may be an underestimated source of fungal healthcare-associated infections. | |
