Abstract:
Objective: The aim of the study was to characterize aspergillus species from clinical
samples.
Design: Cross sectional study.
Setting: The study was conducted at Kenya Medical Research Institute using
archived aspergillus isolates.
Subject: The study was performed on 54 archived clinical samples.
Results: Nine Aspergillus fumigatus and two Aspergillus flavus were isolated out of
which two A. fumigatus had TR34/L98H mutation.
Conclusion: Although no information on prior azole exposure was available, the
present study reports the first triazole resistant aspergillus in Kenya and calls for
more surveillance and measures to contain the emergence of azole resistance in
clinical practice.
