Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fungal diseases are often caused by fungi that are common in the environment and their spectrum of severity ranges from mild superficial infections to invasive and life-threatening diseases. Fungal pathogens are a major threat to public health, especially in severely ill patients and immunocompromised hosts. The incidence and geographic range of fungal diseases are expanding worldwide and fungi are becoming increasingly resistant to antifungals. According to surveillance data in Israel, candidemia and invasive aspergillosis are the most frequent serious fungal diseases with significant morbidity and mortality.
This Special Issue aims to present new data on fungal infections in Israel (e.g., epidemiology and clinical data, diagnostic methods, antifungal susceptibility, and resistance mechanisms) and provide insight into current mycology research in Israel. Original studies, case studies, and reviews are welcome.
