Fungal diseases require greater attention today than ever before, given the expanding population of immunosuppressed patients who are at higher risk for these diseases. This article reports on distribution, incidence, and prevalence of various fungal diseases and points out gaps in knowledge where such data are not available. Fungal diseases that contribute substantially to global morbidity and mortality are highlighted. Long-term, sustainable surveillance programs for fungal diseases and better noninvasive and reliable diagnostic tools are needed to estimate the burden of these diseases more accurately.
鉴于免疫抑制患者群体不断扩大，他们患这些疾病的风险更高，因此如今真菌病比以往任何时候都需要更多关注。本文报告了各种真菌病的分布、发病率和患病率，并指出了缺乏此类数据的知识空白。重点介绍了对全球发病率和死亡率有重大影响的真菌病。需要长期、可持续的真菌病监测项目以及更好的非侵入性和可靠诊断工具，以更准确地评估这些疾病的负担。
