Mold-related fungal infections pose health risks
An American study shows that invasive fungal infections caused by mold pose a serious health threat, with approximately 450 cases recorded in Atlanta hospitals over five years, and one-third of patients dying from the infection. Despite their rarity, these infections are highly dangerous. The risk of contracting them increases after natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods, and the number of cases is expected to rise in the future due to climate change, which contributes to the spread of fungi. Experts emphasize the need to raise awareness, improve diagnosis, and strengthen monitoring to confront this growing threat.
