Fungal Infections and Studies
Fungal Infections and Studies is a research topic within Epidemiology. Science Explorer counts 34k research works in it since 1950. 15.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the epidemiology, diagnosis, management, and molecular aspects of various fungal infections such as Cryptococcal Disease, Histoplasmosis, Coccidioidomycosis, and Sporotrichosis. It also explores antifungal therapy, the impact of these infections on immunocompromised hosts, and the role of virulence factors such as melanin production.
