Worldwide, fungal diseases and antimicrobial-resistant fungi are increasing. Fungal Disease Awareness Week is September 16-20. Learn about fungal diseases during #FungalWeek24 and raise awareness to help reduce the harmful effects of fungal diseases.

Candida auris is an emerging nosocomial fungal pathogen mostly affecting critical care patients, with multi-drug resistance & high mortality rate. Infections have been reported from over 30 countries globally & including Africa (SA, Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria, & Kenya).#FungalWeek24

Cryptococcal meningitis is one of the leading causes of death in SSA among AHD patients. Early diagnosis is crucial in improving treatment outcomes. Despite advances & the availability of modern and POC diagnostics, gaps still exist in RLS leading to poor outcomes. #FungalWeek24

Progressive disseminated histoplasmosis, caused by H. capsulatum is a life-threatening illness and is an AIDS-defining opportunistic infection. It is neglected, under-diagnosed and often misdiagnosed as cancer or tuberculosis with fatal consequences. #FungalWeek24

As we celebrate Fungal Disease Awareness Week, we highlight the strategies for improving access to antifungals susceptibility testing in resource constrained settings; in this Lancet Infectious Diseases paper. #FungalWeek24

WHO recognized mycetoma as a NTD. The global burden remains poorly defined. Early detection & treatment are vital to reduce morbidity & improve outcomes. ~3683 cases in Uganda. Clinicians have a low index of clinical suspicion leading to under-diagnosis. #Fungalweek24

She looked innocent until you see what she did !

Still coughing after TB treatment? It could be CPA, and not a relapse, especially if Gene Xpert is negative. But most are never screened. We can do better. #ScreenForCPA #TBcare #LungHealth #OneHealth #Advocacy #IFI #CPA2025
