Fungal infections are an important and increasingly prevalent cause of disease in certain patient populations. These infections can occur both in immune-compromised and immune-competent individuals. Because the number of patients who are immunocompromised is steadily growing, it is vital for clinicians to consider fungal disease in the differential diagnosis of these patients. This article reviews the epidemiology and approach to diagnosis of a variety of fungal infections.
真菌感染是某些患者群体中一种重要且日益普遍的致病原因。这些感染在免疫功能低下和免疫功能正常的个体中均可发生。由于免疫功能低下患者的数量在稳步增长,临床医生在对这些患者进行鉴别诊断时考虑真菌疾病至关重要。本文综述了多种真菌感染的流行病学及诊断方法。
