Human Pathogenic Fungi in China—Emerging Trends from Ongoing National Survey for 1986, 1996, and 2006

Abstract: This epidemiological survey was a retrospective study on three nodes during the past three decades on fungal infections representing the China, including Taiwan. Owing to rare publications reporting on dynamic epidemiological trends in the pathogen epidemiology in China, we surveyed the isolation rates and pathogenic fungi from 8 representative districts in China using uniform identification with uniform methodology. The pathogenic fungi isolation rates and species obtained from 1986 (n=9,096), 1996 (n=19,009)… Show more

“…Invasive fungal infection by pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans has increased significantly over the past 10 decades (Pfaller and Diekema 2004;Sudfeld et al 2010;Wu et al 2011). In addition, new fungal infections due to the species of Aspergillus and Candida other than A. fumigatus and C. albicans, and yeast-like fungi such as Trichosporon spp.…”
