| Abstract: | Introduction: Lower respiratory tract Infections (LRTIs) remains the most common infection seen in the community and among hospitalized patients. Despite treatment, most invasive pulmonary fungal infections are associated with high mortality rates of > 50%. As bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples are generally useful specimens in the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary infections, this study was designed to evaluate the incidence of fungal elements in at-risk patients by direct microscopy and culture of BAL samples. Materials and Methods: Total 213 BAL samples received in the Department of Microbiology subjected to microscopy and culture. Samples were processed and isolates identified by standard techniques. Results: Out of 213 samples of BAL, 34(15.96%) samples showed fungal growth. Of these, Candida species were isolated in 19(55.88%) samples, Aspergillus species in 12 (35.39%) samples, Fusarium species in 2(5.88%), and Mucor species in 1(2.94%) sample . Conclusion: Adequate measures need to be taken for the early identification and treatment of respiratory fungal infections which are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. These infections if diagnosed early can be treated effectively to prevent the progression of disease. |
