Abstract

Fungal pathogens and infections are an increasing global public health concern. People most at risk are those with underlying health problems or a weakened immune system, such as chronic lung disease, prior tuberculosis (TB), HIV, cancer, and diabetes mellitus. According to researchers over 5.7 crore Indians are affected by serious fungal conditions; around 4.1% of the Indian population is probably affected, which is similar to reports from other countries like China, Brazil, Korea, Senegal, and Germany. Over 300 million people worldwide suffer from major fungal illnesses, which cause 1.6 million deaths yearly. The World Health Organisation Fungal Priority Pathogen List (FPPL) intends to concentrate and direct additional research and policy measures to boost the international response to fungal infections and antifungal resistance.
