Why?

How many
are affected?

Treating and caring for patients with fungal diseases is becoming an increasing economic burden. Estimated numbers of patients who will need expensive antifungal drugs for some of the life-threatening fungal illnesses are summarised here.

Invasive aspergillosis kills more than 100 000 per year, mortality is >50%
Around 10% of new leukaemic cases will go on to develop invasive aspergillosis (30 000 per year)
54,000 stem cell transplants are carried out annually. 5,400 will get aspergillosis
216 000 COPD patients will need treatment for aspergillosis
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis causes more than 450 000 deaths per year
Severe asthma kills 100 000 per year, half of which are related to fungal sensitisation
