[Invasive fungal infection over the last 30 years].

Clinical mycology is in continuous development. The appearance of new clinical guidelines has made it possible to improve the approach to opportunistic fungal infections, especially in immunosuppressed patients (oncohematological and/or transplant recipients). At the same time, the development of new diagnostic tools and new antifungals with a greater spectrum of action and fewer side effects have led to faster diagnoses and treatments that are more effective. Along with these advances, there has been a change in the epidemiology of invasive fungal infection (IFI), with the appearance of new patients (e.g., COPD, liver cirrhosis, post-influenza) and new microorganisms (Candida auris, Lomentospora prolificans, mucorales), and resistant fungi (isolates of Aspergillus resistant to azoles) which the clinician must take into account when choosing the treatment of a patient with an IFI. In this paper we will briefly review the advances in recent decades and the emerging problems.
