Abstract

Purpose of review: The increase in international travel in recent decades has contributed to the risk of acquiring diseases considered endemic to a region or country and the change in the epidemiology of these diseases. Endemic mycoses that may be acquired by travelers in the short or long term are endemic subcutaneous mycoses such as sporotrichosis and lobomycosis, while endemic systemic mycoses are a group of serious diseases including histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis. Herein, we review the current knowledge and highlight the most important aspects of these fungal infections in travelers.

Recent findings: The most relevant advances in the study of these mycoses involve the epidemiological distribution; human mycoses can be fatal and there are few antifungal drugs available, increasing drug resistance, and a risk of emerging fungal diseases associated with climate change, as well as the increasing virulence, and the diagnostic strategies that may be limited in many countries.

Summary: Although endemic mycoses are relatively rare, they should be considered as potentially travel-related illnesses. A recent or late trip to an endemic country may guide the clinical suspicion, an early diagnosis, and the institution of effective therapy.

旅行者的皮下真菌病。
审查目的:近几十年来,国际旅行的增加增加了感染某一区域或国家认为是地方性疾病的风险,并改变了这些疾病的流行病学。旅行者短期或长期可能感染的地方性真菌病是地方性皮下真菌病,如孢子菌病和白血病,而地方性全身真菌病是一组严重疾病,包括组织浆菌病和球孢子菌病。在这里,我们回顾了目前的知识,并强调了旅行者中这些真菌感染的最重要方面。最新发现:这些真菌病的研究最相关的进展包括流行病学分布;人类真菌病可能是致命的,可用的抗真菌药物很少,耐药性增加,与气候变化有关的新发真菌疾病的风险,以及日益增加的毒力,以及许多国家可能有限的诊断策略。摘要:虽然地方性真菌病相对罕见,但应将其视为潜在的旅行相关疾病。最近或晚些时候到流行国家旅行可指导临床怀疑、早期诊断和制定有效治疗。

期刊介绍: Current Tropical Medicine Reports provides expert views on recent advances in the field of tropical medicine in a clear and readable form. This journal offers reviews by domestic and international contributors that highlight the most important, recent papers and findings related to this specific field. We accomplish this by appointing renowned leaders in major tropical medicine subject areas to select topics addressing virology, bacteriology, parasitology, entomology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, behavioral science and clinical medicine for review by experts who assess the latest developments and highlight significant papers published over the last few years on their topics. These review articles also stress recently published papers of importance in the references, which are accompanied by annotations explaining their importance. In addition to these Section Editors, our international Editorial Board ensures our journal upholds its standards.
