Description:September 18-22, 2023, is Fungal Disease Awareness Week (FDAW). Each year, CDC and partners dedicate FDAW to activities and outreach that encourage everyone to Think Fungus. Several events in 2023 that led up to FDAW demonstrated the growing challenges, complexities, and devastating impact of fungal diseases. These included:
• An unprecedented outbreak of the fungal infection blastomycosis among employees in a papermill in Michigan.
• Newly published data showing sharp annual increases in Candida auris (C. auris) infections.
• A multinational outbreak of fungal meningitis linked to procedures performed under epidural anesthesia in Matamoros, Mexico.
