Data on mycoses known to be imported into the United Kingdom are sparse. Estimates on the prevalence of fungal infections have to be based on indirect and incomplete figures, obtained from isolation figures and reports of individual cases to co-ordinating centres such as the Mycological Reference Laboratory and the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre of the Public Health Laboratory Service. Imported species of dermatophytes account for less than 1% of the total number of isolations made annually at mycological laboratories throughout the U.K. A suggested prevalence of dermatophytosis in this country is c. 250 000 cases per annum. Trichophyton rubrum may now be the most common species of dermatophyte. Other estimates of the frequencies with which infections are recorded each year include mycetoma (7-10), histoplasmosis (2-5), aspergilloma (50-80), invasive aspergillosis (10-30), Candida vaginitis (greater than or equal to 1 000 000), invasive candidiasis (10-80), Candida endocarditis (1-2) and cryptococcosis (6-10).
关于已知输入英国的真菌病的数据很稀少。真菌感染患病率的估计不得不基于从分离数据以及向诸如真菌学参考实验室和公共卫生实验室服务部传染病监测中心等协调中心报告的个别病例中获得的间接且不完整的数据。输入的皮肤癣菌种类在英国各地真菌学实验室每年分离出的总数中所占比例不到1%。该国皮肤癣菌病的推测患病率约为每年25万例。红色毛癣菌现在可能是最常见的皮肤癣菌种类。每年记录的感染频率的其他估计包括足菌肿（7 - 10例）、组织胞浆菌病（2 - 5例）、曲菌球（50 - 80例）、侵袭性曲霉病（10 - 30例）、念珠菌性阴道炎（大于或等于100万例）、侵袭性念珠菌病（10 - 80例）、念珠菌性心内膜炎（1 - 2例）和隐球菌病（6 - 10例）。
