Abstract

Over the past several decades, rare and unusual fungi have been reported increasingly as agents of infection in humans and animals. This increased frequency of unusual fungal infections may be related in part to increasing numbers of patients with immunosuppression, as well as increased opportunities for environmental exposure to the organisms. In addition, the advent of better diagnostic modalities has aided in the identification of unusual organisms. This review discusses the epidemiology of emerging and unusual fungi and other pathogens causing fungal-like infection.
