“…The rising burden of cutaneous fungal infections has been a persistently neglected public health problem for decades. This phenomenon remained more pronounced during the global surge of COVID-19 cases when physicians and scientists across the globe were focused on identifying ways to treat or cure SARS-CoV-2 infections [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The current study is the torchbearer for strategic organizations to develop measures to prevent the future spread of cutaneous fungal infections not only the urban areas but also in rural areas across the globe.…”

Despite the rising burden of fungal infections across the globe, the World Health Organization's efforts remained questionable in fungal infection-related projects. Most of the developing countries consequently lost focus on the need for assessment and establishment of national surveillance set up or advanced technology hubs against mycological infections. The current study aimed to the determination of the local burden of cutaneous fungal infections in 2019-2021. Among 497 suspected fungal cultures, 22.5% depicted fungal growth. Among males, the prevalence of dermatomycosis was 0.75 times higher than in females. Penicillium species followed by Epidermophyton and Candida species were common among subjects of < 30 years of age. The Aspergillus spp, Penicillium spp, mucormycosis agents, and Candida albicans infections were more common among subjects 30 to 60 years of age. Aspergillus species were more commonly observed among patients > 60 of age. 22.2% of the fungal infections were Penicillium species, 9% of the infections were Aspergillus species, followed by 4.4% of Epidermophyton, mucormycosis, Candida species, and Candida albicans respectively. There is an urgent need for the establishment of national policy for the prevention of fungal disease.

“…Recently, we have also examined strong positive results (85%) with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibodies among Sputnik V first dose vaccinated people (6). The SARS-CoV-2 has been emerged as serious public health concern (7)(8)(9)(10). Usually, the antibodies can protect for a few months, however the level of antibodies needs to be monitored so that booster doses could be taken with time.…”
