Abstract:
The global morbidity of invasive fungal diseases (IFD) tends to increase, especially in immunocompromised people.Due to the atypical symptoms, unclear etiological mechanism, and emerging antifungal resistance, IFD challenge current clinical diagnosis and treatment.The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the first WHO fungal priority pathogens list in 2022.The most concerning fungal pathogens were listed and summarized to promote further understanding of the epidemiology of IFD and antifungal drug resistance.It is hoped to provide a basis for the prevention and interventions of IFD.
