Abstract
Malassezia furfur was noticed in 115 positive cases of . td.nea versicolor by direct microscopic examination.
In the second part of this investigation, seasonal fluctuatiuns of air-borne fungi in-door and out-door of the hospital wards were studied by exposing plates containing agar. medium supplemented with antibiotics to the air of the studied area.
recovered through the in.-door experiments, and the most common species ~lere; Aspergillus fl avus (13 .15”0, Penicilli~ chrysogenum 00.24”10), ~. corylophilum (8.56%), ~. ~iger (S.26’Jo), Tritirachium roseum(6.l2”/o) and Alternaria alternata (4.84~).
The results of the out-door experiments were basically similar to those of the in-door experiment~
No specific air_mycoflora was characteristic of the hospitals wards and no dermatophytic fungi were recovered from the air of the \~ards .
Mas t of the isolateJ fungal species were of the common kno\o’n saprophytes including some keratinolytic fungi such as; Chrysosporium (~. keratinophilum, <2-. queenslandicum, ~. xerophilum, <2-. tropicum and Chrysosporium ~p.); Malbranchea (~. chrysosporioidea and Malbranchea sp.); CandiJa (<2-. albicans, <2-. tropicalis anJ CanrliJa sp.); Tritirachium ~~eum; Geotrichum candidum; Scopulariopsis (~.: brevicaulis and S. brumptii); Auxarthron zuffianum; Oidiodendron griseum and Arachniotus citrinus.
