Aspergillosis and Mucormycosis
Some fungal diseases go undiagnosed which leads to serious illness and death. Increased awareness about fungal diseases is one of the most important ways we can improve early recognition and provide life-saving treatment. There is an increasing global prevalence of invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis, and there are patients who are at risk of developing invasive fungal infections.

Invasive Mould Disease
Some fungal diseases go undiagnosed which leads to serious illness and death. Increased awareness about fungal diseases is one of the most important ways we can improve early recognition and provide life-saving treatment. Invasive mould disease (IMD) is an infection caused by fungal moulds. It commonly affects immunocompromised patients. If left untreated, up to 95% of IMD lead to mortality.

Invasive Mould Disease in ICU
Some fungal diseases go undiagnosed which leads to serious illness and death. Increased awareness about fungal diseases is one of the most important ways we can improve early recognition and provide life-saving treatment. IMD poses a significant challenge in the intensive care unit (ICU) affecting both neutropenic and non-neutropenic patients. Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is the most common type of IMD that is usually underestimated and one of the most frequently missed diagnosis found post-mortem. Another type of IMD found in the ICU is mucormycosis which also has a significant mortality rate despite the advances in the diagnosis and treatment.

Think Fungus
IMD is a serious and life-threatening fungal infection and its clinical manifestations are like bacterial pneumonia. Patients with prolonged neutropenia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or severe viral infection, HIV and CMV reactivation, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, liver and solid tumors and receiving organ transplant are at risk of developing IMD. Early recognition of the disease and providing life-saving treatment will significantly reduce the mortality and improve patient outcomes.
