Methods Retrospective analysis of our hospital in January 2006, December 2007, admitted elderly patients (gt; 60 years of nosocomial pulmonary fungal cause of infection for inspection, statistical results of pulmonary fungal infection, 28 cases, mainly Candida pathogens, including Candida albicans accounted for 66.6% in elderly patients with pulmonary fungal infection may be associated with age, length of stay, the original disease, invasive operation and antibiotics, the widespread use of immunosuppressive agents closely related to conclusion early detection of pulmonary fungal infection, according to the selection of strains and antifungal susceptibility results of the treatment, is expected to improve prognosis. As a new generation of antibiotics have been developed, so the hospital to control various types of bacterial infection, but nosocomial fungal infections has increased year by year, especially elderly patients, with age, immune dysfunction, respiratory system aging, decreased lung function , multiple organ functions decline very vulnerable to pulmonary fungal infection. our hospital from January 2006 to December 2007 among a total of 28 cases of pulmonary fungal infection within the hospital medical records for analysis, results are as follows: 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information 28 cases of pulmonary fungal infections in the medical records of 23 males and 5 females, aged between 61 years to 82 years, average 71 years of age, length of stay 25 to 55 days, an average of 36 days. 1.2 Diagnostic Criteria According to the Ministry of Health to develop nosocomial infection surveillance group lt;lt;Hospital di
