Abstract
Fungal diseases encompass a wide range of conditions, from superficial skin infections to potentially life-threatening systemic diseases. The burden of severe fungal diseases is considerable, with millions of cases annually and high mortality rates. However, accurate epidemiological information is lacking due to limited surveillance. Their diagnosis and treatment present significant challenges, especially in resource-limited settings. Globally, there is a notable shortage of specialists experienced in fungal diseases. This scarcity contributes to delays in diagnosis and empirical treatment, with the consequences that this entails for the patient. The integration of artificial intelligence into medical practice promises to improve the diagnosis and management of fungal diseases. However, careful validation and training of algorithms are essential to ensure their effectiveness and equity. In conclusion, we call on relevant institutions to recognize the need for public funding for a project whose sole aim is to ensure that fungal diseases are incorporated into the realm of equal opportunities and rights, rather than remaining hidden and relegated to elitist institutions where professionals have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and treat them.
