Abstract
Fungal diseases are of growing clinical concern in human medicine as the result of changes in the epidemiology, diversity in clinical presentation, emergence of new pathogens, difficulties in diagnosis and increasing resistance to antifungals of current available classes. There is a need for high disease awareness among the public and healthcare physicians, improvement in diagnostic methods and the development of drugs from new therapeutic classes with an improved resistance profile. In this article, we will explore some key aspects of fungal diseases in humans and provide a general overview of this important topic.
