Despite the medical advances and interventions to improve the quality of life of those in intensive care, people with cancer or severely immunocompromised or other susceptible hosts, invasive fungal diseases (IFD) remain severe and underappreciated causes of illness and death worldwide. Therefore, IFD continue to be a public health threat and a major hindrance to the success of otherwise life-saving treatments and procedures. Globally, hundreds of thousands of people are affected every year with Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Cryptococcus neoformans, Pneumocystis jirovecii, endemic dimorphic fungi and Mucormycetes, the most common fungal species causing invasive diseases in humans. These infections result in morbidity and mortality rates that are unacceptable and represent a considerable socioeconomic burden. Raising the general awareness of the significance and impact of IFD in human health, in both the hospital and the community, is hence critical to understand the scale of the problem and to raise interest to help fighting these devastating diseases.

尽管在改善重症监护患者，患有癌症或免疫功能低下或其他易感宿主的人的生活质量方面取得了医学进步和干预措施，但侵袭性真菌病（IFD）仍然是世界范围内严重且未被充分认识的疾病和死亡原因。因此，IFD仍然是公共卫生的威胁，也是成功挽救生命的治疗方法和程序的主要障碍。在全球范围内，每年有数十万人受到白色念珠菌，烟曲霉，新型隐球菌，吉氏肺孢菌，地方性双态真菌和毛霉菌的影响，这是最常见的真菌类，在人类中引起侵入性疾病。这些感染导致发病率和死亡率不可接受，并代表着巨大的社会经济负担。
