Abstract

Fungi belong to a diverse group of organisms. Most fungi are harmless and are found in soil or organic matter. However, many species manage to relate to the Human Being causing him pathologies[1,2]. Much of the population, for part of their life, has suffered from superficial fungal infections that are easily treated. However, millions of individuals fall victim to life-threatening invasive fungal infections, which are much more difficult to diagnose and treat[1,3]. Currently, the diagnosis of invasive mycoses, especially in immunocompromised patients, remains problematic due to the nonspecificity of the symptoms, and the available diagnostic methods [4,5].
