During the course of extensive building activity at Guy's Hospital, London, air sampling was carried out weekly, for one year, to monitor the frequency of spores of Aspergillus spp. in both the hospital grounds and a number of defined ward areas. Nasal swabs were taken from patients on a selected ward to assess the nasal carriage of Aspergillus. The weather conditions were monitored at the time of sampling. The predominant species was Aspergillus fumigatus which occurred at a low frequency throughout the year, with little evidence of seasonal variation bar a peak in March. Few differences were found between internal and external spore counts. Localized building activity in a ward area and a laboratory area did not result in higher internal levels. Six percent of the nasal swabs were positive for A. fumigatus, though none of these patients became infected.
在伦敦盖伊医院大规模建设期间，进行了为期一年的每周一次空气采样，以监测医院场地和一些特定病房区域曲霉菌属孢子的出现频率。从选定病房的患者身上采集鼻拭子，以评估曲霉菌的鼻腔携带情况。采样时监测天气状况。主要菌种是烟曲霉，全年出现频率较低，除了3月有一个峰值外，几乎没有季节性变化的迹象。内部和外部孢子计数之间几乎没有差异。病房区域和实验室区域的局部建设活动并未导致内部水平升高。6%的鼻拭子烟曲霉检测呈阳性，不过这些患者均未感染。
