Surveillance practices and air-sampling strategies to address healthcare-associated invasive mold infections in Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) Research Network hospitals-United States, 2020

Abstract

With this survey, we investigated healthcare-associated invasive mold infection (HA-IMI) surveillance and air sampling practices in US acute-care hospitals. More than half of surveyed facilities performed HA-IMI surveillance and air sampling. HA-IMI surveillance was more commonly performed in academic versus nonacademic facilities. HA-IMI case definitions and sampling strategies varied widely among respondents.
