Abstract

The present study was conducted to isolation and identification of Aspergillus fumigatus. Isolated from immunocompromised patients with (Diabetes, Cancer) by different identification methods including direct examination, laboratory culture and electron microscopy. During the period from (July to September 2016), a total of 50 swab were collected from immunocompromised patients with attending to the in AL- Sadder Medical City (the Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology) and (Euphrates middle Center for cancer diseases). In AL-Najaf Governorate, the samples were collected as following: 30 swab from the eyes of cancer patients who were suffering from prostate, leukemia, stomach and intestines cancer, also 20 swabs from the ears of diabetic patients. The percentage of female to male was as following, 29 females (58%) males and 21 (42%). In this study, the results show that the incidence of aspergillosis in women was higher than the male. The results of the present study reveal that the prevalence of aspergillosis from patient with cancer was more than diabetes patients which was 18 (66.66%) and 9 (33.33%), respectively.
