Abstract:
Two hundred samples from sputum (160), bronchial secretions (35) and pleural aspirate (5) were analysed from patients of bronchopulmonary disorders. One hundred nine samples (54.5%) were positive for the fungi. Candida species (50%) were the predominant fungus isolated, followed by Aspergillus species (3.5%). Among various species of Candida, C. albicans accounted for 29.5% cases of bronchopulmonary disorders.
