Research links silent fungal infections to serious health risks
An American study has revealed that invasive fungal infections caused by mold pose a serious health threat and can be deadly in some cases. Researchers documented approximately 450 cases in Atlanta hospitals over a period of five years, with about one-third of the patients dying during treatment. The study links the increase in infections to climate change, which leads to more natural disasters; infrastructure and contaminated environments exposed to mold increase the risk of infection transmission. These infections can be spread through inhaling spores, wounds, or contaminated equipment, posing a recurring medical issue that demands urgent medical attention.
