Abstract
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) due to filamentous fungi still have high rates of mortality associated with the difficulties of early detection of the infection and their therapeutic limitations. Consequently, a useful approach is to prevent patients at risk of fungal infection from getting in contact with conidia of Aspergillus and other mould species. This document describes the recommendations to prevent IFI due to filamentous fungi, prepared by Spanish experts from different medical and professional fields. The paper reviews the incidence of the IFI in different risk populations and the questions related to environmental measures of prevention, control of hospital infections, additional procedures for prevention, prevention of IFI outside hospitals, as well as antifungal prophylaxis.
