Introduction The prevalence of invasive fungal infections (IFI) is increasing globally, with approximately 6,500,000 cases of IFI per year and 3,800,000 deaths. Most IFI deaths are attributable to opportunistic mycoses, such as Aspergillus and Candida. However, changes in climate and travel are leading to rising rates of endemic mycoses. Compounding this burden is the rise of antifungal drug resistance, requiring the development of new agents.
