Be part of the inaugural Fungal Disease Awareness Week, August 14–18, organized by CDC and partners to raise awareness among the public and healthcare providers about fungal diseases.
Fungal diseases often go undiagnosed and cause serious illnesses around the world. For example, Candida auris is a fungal disease that has developed resistance, making it harder to treat and contain.
Increased awareness about fungal diseases, including C.auris, is one of the most important ways to reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment, which can lead to better health outcomes and save lives.Participate in Fungal Disease Awareness Week:
