Abstract

 The incidence of fungal infections in recent years is increasing rapidly and there is an emergence of newer fungal pathogens and anti-fungal drug resistance due to multiple predisposing reasons such as prolonged and indiscriminate use of antibiotic therapy, immunosuppressive corticosteroid therapy, aggressive use of ant-cancer drugs, bone marrow and organ transplantation procedures, and underlying conditions like immunodeficiency diseases (E.g., AIDS) and metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus.
