A census of the fungi associated with the human body is necessary to promote

understanding and lead to ways to prevent human disease and is highly

recommended. Although many fungal diseases are

associated with patients with depressed immune systems, some fungal

infections, including sinusitis and vaginitis and athlete’s foot, strike

healthy

people, and fungi may also be linked to asthma, allergies, and sick building

syndrome. Given that the incidence of fungal diseases is on the rise, it is

also

important to continue developing new vaccines and new types of treatments for

overcoming these diseases. Diagnostics

for fungal diseases are utterly inadequate when, in fact, accurate and early

diagnosis of fungal diseases is critical for managing disease and saving

lives. New and more rapid techniques are needed for diagnosing fungal

infections.
