Background Mucormycosis is a life-threatening invasive fungal infection that mainly affects individuals with weakened immune systems. Despite its clinical importance, data from Türkiye on the epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility of fungi belonging to the order Mucorales are scarce. This study aimed to describe t…

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated opportunistic yeast widely distributed in the environment and classified as critical-priority fungal pathogen by the World Health Organisation due to its high mortality and limited access to timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Infection is typically acquired via inhalat…

Mucormycosis is a rapidly progressive fungal infection associated with high mortality and morbidity caused by fungi belonging to the class Zygomycetes.The most common causative agents are Rhizopus spp., Mucor spp., and Lichtheimia spp.Risk factors for mucormycosis include immunosuppression, neutropenia, conditions tha…

Mucormycosis is a rare, invasive fungal infection associated with high mortality. This retrospective study evaluated adult mucormycosis cases followed in our clinic between 2015 and 2025. A total of 13 patients were included, with a mean age of 50.92 ± 20.65 years (range, 20–83), and 10 (76.9%) were male. The most fre…

Purpose: Trichosporon species are part of the human microbiota. However, their presence in urine cultures may indicate invasive infection, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This study aimed to identify Trichosporon spp. isolated from urine cultures of hospitalized patients at the species level and to dete…

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail unit caused by dermatophytes, non-dermatophyte molds, or yeasts. Among non-dermatophyte molds, Alternaria alternata is a dematiaceous fungus that only rarely involves the nail apparatus. Herein, we report a case of A. alternata–associated onychomycosis affecting a single…

Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with hematological malignancies, especially those undergoing intensive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This text provides a comprehensive risk-adapted framework for antifungal prophylaxi…

(1) Background: Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) represent significant challenges in clinical practice, particularly among immunocompromised individuals, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. The present document aims to provide evidence-based consensus for the timely initiation of antifungal treatment, focus…
