Re-drawing the Maps for Endemic Mycoses

Mycopathologia, 2020
Endemic mycoses such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, and talaromycosis are well-known causes of focal and systemic disease within specific geographic areas of known endemicity.

Epidemiology of Systemic Mycoses in the COVID-19 Pandemic

Journal of Fungi, 2021
The physiopathologic characteristics of COVID-19 (high levels of inflammatory cytokines and T-cell reduction) promote fungal colonization and infection, which can go unnoticed because the symptoms in both diseases are very similar.
