Detection of cryptic species of Aspergillus with reduced susceptibility to antifungal agents in hospitals. In: IV Congresso Nacional de Saúde Pública, 2-3 Outubro 2015. Health by Numbers. 2015;3:13.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/8090Invasive aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus spp. affecting mainly the immunocompromised. The mortality rate may reach 85%. Aspergillus identification should be based on molecular methods as there are species morphologically similar but distinct at the molecular level (cryptic species), with variable antifungal susceptibility profiles.engOccupational healthOccupational exposureAspergillusCryptic speciesHospital environmentNosocomial infectionAntifungal resistanceSystemic infectionZoonoseconference object
