Fungal infections affect over 1 billion people globally, causing an estimated 11.5 million life-threatening infections and more than 1.5 million deaths annually. Despite their impact, fungal diseases remain under-recognized and underfunded in global health.

Sebelas tahun lalu, saya dan kolega memperkirakan sekitar 2 juta orang di seluruh dunia meninggal akibat infeksi jamur setiap tahunnya. Perkiraan terbaru saya menyebutkan angka saat ini hampir dua kali lipatnya: sekitar 3,8 juta kematian. Sebagai gambaran, penyakit ini menyumbang sekitar 6,8% dari total kematian global. Penyakit jantung koroner mungkin bertanggung jawab atas 16% total kematian di dunia, diikuti oleh stroke sebesar 11%.

Il y a onze ans, mes collègues et moi-même avions estimé qu’environ 2 millions de personnes dans le monde mouraient chaque année des suites d’infections fongiques. Mes nouvelles estimations révèlent que ce nombre a presque doublé, puisque qu’il serait aujourd’hui d’environ 3,8 millions. Pour mettre ce résultat en perspective, soulignons que cela représente environ 6,8 % du total des décès mondiaux.

Eleven years ago, my colleagues and I estimated that about 2 million people around the world were dying from fungal infections annually. My latest estimate puts the figure today at nearly double that: around 3.8 million deaths. To put this in perspective, it accounts for around 6.8% of total global deaths. Coronary heart disease is probably responsible for 16% of the world’s total deaths, followed by stroke at 11%.

Invasive fungal diseases are on the increase globally. The World Health Organization fungal priority pathogens list highlights fungi of critical or high importance to human health and provides pathways for action. The report calls for improved surveillance (diagnostics and antifungal resistance monitoring), research and innovation (implementation research) and public-health interventions.
