| Abstract
|
:
|
Background: Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillusis (IPA) is an important infection in critically ill patients including patients of intensive care units (ICU). Different diagnostic tools are available and since its mortality is high, it is vital to start the antifungal therapy as soon as possible. Knowing the epidemiology of this disease in each ICU and area will help to better and more rapid management of such patients. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of invasive pulmonary aspergillusis based on the level of galactomannan in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in ICU of Al-Zahra hospital, Isfahan, Iran. Method: This was a cross sectional study which was conducted in AlZahra hospital, Isfahan, Iran,between 2010, to, 2011. The study population was all the patients admitted to intensive care unit and were suspected to have invasive aspergillus spp pneumonia. The level of galactomanan in bronchoalveolar lavage was measured and demographic data were gathered by the questionnaire. Results: The frequency of IPA in this study was calculated as 2.43 while galactomannan level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of this patient (2.50) was significantly higher than others (0.03+-0.02).Conclusion: Larger studies are required to determine the exact frequency of_IPA and the best antifungal therapy for it. Keywords: bronchoalveolar lavage, aspergillus spp pneumonia, Galactomannan, intensive care unit..
