Fungal Emerging Infectious Diseases

Fungal emerging infectious diseases are infections caused by fungi that have recently become more common or severe, often due to changes in the environment, human behavior, or increased resistance to treatments. These diseases can affect anyone, particularly those with weakened immune systems. Examples include infections like Candida auris, which can be difficult to treat and spread in healthcare settings. Understanding and addressing these fungal diseases is crucial for public health, as they can lead to serious health complications and strain healthcare resources. Awareness and vigilance are key to preventing their spread.
