Abstract
- Fungal infections range widely from superficial mycoses to life-threatening invasive infections. The clinical and epidemiological landscape of fungal diseases has undergone significant transformations both globally and within South Korea—changes influenced by a confluence of underlying host factors, healthcare settings, and regional disease prevalence patterns. This review provides a comprehensive overview of previous studies on the incidence, distribution, and clinical features of fungal infections in Korea, while also referencing global data for contextual comparison. Topics include invasive fungal infections, dermatologic mycoses, outbreak-related cases, and the potential influence of environmental conditions. Incorporating findings from domestic and international sources, this review aims to offer a comprehensive perspective on the current status and emerging trends in fungal epidemiology.
