Pulmonary fungal infections- recent updates

Abstract The field of pulmonary fungal infections is constantly evolving. The at-risk population continues to increase, and the endemic areas for the dimorphic fungi are expanding with new outbreaks reported across the world. Novel diagnostic methods are being developed and existing methods improved and refined. If started in a timely fashion, currently available antifungal agents are fairly effective. In this review we highlight the recent updates in fungal pneumonias focusing on epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
