| Abstract | ||
| The study was initiated to detect the fungi associated with the wounds of burned patients. The ages of patients were ranged from 3 months to 70 years. Results showed that 110 specimens ( 73.33 % ) were recorded as fungal infections. It was found that 12 species of opportunistic fungi belong to 8 genera. The predominant genus, isolated from wounds, was Aspergillus which is found in 55 specimens ( 36.82 % ) , followed by the genus Candida in 43 specimens ( 28.91 % ). The highest percentage of fungal infection appeared in burned patients belonged to age group of 3 months - 9 years (92.61 %) and to age group of 60-74 years(98.22 %) as compared to other ages. It was also noted that fungal infections were highest in warm months(in May 40.22 % ), while in cool months were the lowest percentage ( 15.37 % ). The number of male infections were 71 ( 64.54 % ) ، while the number of female infections were 39 ( 35.45 % ). | ||
