Immune Responses to Fungal Infections

  • Chapter
Book cover Immunological Aspects of Infectious Diseases

Abstract

Fungi do not rank with bacteria, viruses or protozoa as causes of human disease. Mycoses are generally associated with morbidity rather than mortality and, since they are not notifiable, accurate data on their prevalence are almost unobtainable. In addition, countries where mycoses are believed to be of major public health significance are not necessarily those where expertise in mycological diagnosis, management and reporting are available.
