In the past 40 years, medical mycology has gone from a curiosity in the basements of medical schools to a mainstream branch of clinical microbiology and infectious diseases. Long gone are the days of carefully curated collections of organisms identified purely based on morphology and skill, the lack of therapeutic interventions beyond amphotericin B and the occasional strange case in the ward of a diabetic patient with mucormycosis. We highlight advances in medical mycology as reflected in the past 40 years of JAC.
在过去的40年里，医学真菌学已从医学院地下室里令人好奇的事物发展成为临床微生物学和传染病学的一个主流分支。仅仅基于形态学和技巧来精心挑选鉴定生物的日子早已一去不复返了，除两性霉素B之外缺乏治疗干预措施，以及病房里偶尔出现的糖尿病患者毛霉病奇怪病例的日子也一去不复返了。我们着重介绍了《抗菌化学治疗杂志》过去40年所反映出的医学真菌学进展。
