	</History>
	<Abstract>In June 2025, this investigation assessed airborne allergenic fungal bioaerosols across five wards of the Medical College Hospital in Amravati. Air samples were gathered via the settle-plate technique on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), and the fungal colonies were subsequently identified based on microscopic and morphological characteristics. Nine fungal species were detected, mainly from Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Alternaria, Fusarium, Cladosporium, and Curvularia. Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, and A. niger were detected in all wards, indicating their dominance in hospital air. Cladosporium cladosporioides and Curvularia lunata were common in Dermatology and Gynecology wards, while Penicillium Spp. and Fusarium oxysporum were common in Orthopedics. Alternaria alternata  was abundant in the Pediatric ward, and Rhizopus stolonifer appeared mainly in Medicine and Gynecology wards. The variation in fungal presence was linked to humidity, ventilation, and hygiene. Many species are allergenic or opportunistic pathogens, posing health risks to immunocompromised patients. Continuous air monitoring and environmental control are recommended to maintain hospital safety.</Abstract>
