Endemic systemic mycoses such as blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, talaromycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis are emerging as an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We conducted a systematic review on endemic systemic mycoses reported in Italy from 1914 to nowadays. We found out: 105 cases of histoplasmosis, 15 of para...

La Paracoccidiomicosis es una infección endémica. Junto con la histoplasmosis, son las infecciones micóticas más frecuentes en Latinoamérica. Esta micosis puede ser de afección local o sistémica, con un marcado trofismo por los pulmones, órganos linfoides, hígado, glándulas suprarrenales, piel y mucosa. Presentamos el caso de un varón adulto, consu...

... In countries where endemic areas for blastomycosis are recognized, the geographic range of the disease has expanded in recent years. The latter has been determined thanks to the multiple cases reported outside endemic areas, where there is no evidence of an imported mycosis [91]. In the USA, several blastomycosis cases have been reported in areas that do not meet the typical characteristics of an endemic region. ...
Purposeof Review
Climate change (CC) can influence the dynamics of infectious and non-infectious diseases caused by fungal agents. We reviewed the current literature on disparities in fungal diseases associated with CC.
Recent Findings
CC has influenced the changes in the fungi ecology and the diseases they cause.
Summary
The increase in global temperature has caused disparities in mycoses: the appearance of new pathogens, such as Candida auris and Trichophyton indotineae, an increase in the severity of cases of blastomycosis and dermatophytosis, exacerbation of allergies, as well as the appearance of mycoses considered endemic in different non-endemic areas. This situation constitutes a wake-up call to focus efforts on adequately diagnosing and treating these diseases.
