An endemic mycosis is an infection caused by a dimorphic fungus that historically occurs regularly in a particular geographic area and occupies a particular niche in the local environment, and can infect people with healthy immune systems.[1] The symptoms of endemic mycoses often mimic those of more common conditions, which often leads to treatment delays.[2]

The fungi that cause endemic mycoses are called endemic fungi. The greatest number of genera of endemic fungi are found in North America.[2]

Endemic mycoses have become increasingly common and have increasingly been detected outside their historical geographic range. Factors that may be contributing to this increase include population growth in endemic areas; increased numbers of immunocompromised people, particularly due to HIV infection; and environmental and climate change.[3] Some of the apparent spread may also be due to improved detection.[4]

List

[edit]

Histoplasmosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, and blastomycosis are sometimes considered the "major" endemic mycoses, in contrast to the "minor" endemic mycoses such as talaromycosis, adiaspiromycosis, and emergomycosis.[3]
