Invasive fungal diseases are an important cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients and in patients with chronic illnesses. Multiple studies in Bangladesh have documented the frequency of fungal infections in our country and results varied. However, better understanding of the invasive fungal infection includes learning about the epidemiology, clinical features, and diagnostic method which is integral part of improving outcomes. In this review, we discuss the common invasive fungal infection that are prevalent in our country along with the clinical pictures, diagnosis, and treatment. It is hoped that this article will highlight the burden of fungal infections on public health and promote effective diagnosis and therapy.
