Abstract
In November 2019, the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported. The infection of COVID-19 has rapidly spread worldwide. Some have unapparent or mild symptoms, but some patients have fatal forms including respiratory or multiple organ failure. In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced COVID-19 as pandemic disease. The COVID-19 pandemic is a sudden, difficult-to-control, and severe disease that can also appear to patients in dermatology. However, understanding disease and experience with it is still insufficient. Therefore, we would like to review patients with fungal infections in the COVID-19 pandemic era.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of mycology and infection (Acronym: JMI, Abbreviation: J Mycol Infect) aims to publish articles of exceptional interests in the field of medical mycology. The journal originally was launched in 1996 as the Korean Journal of Medical Mycology and has reformed into the current state beginning on March of 2018. The contents of the journal should elucidate important microbiological fundamentals and provide qualitative insights to respective clinical aspects. JMI underlines the submission of novel findings and studies in clinical mycology that are enriched by analyses achieved through investigative methods. The journal should be of general interests to the scientific communities at large and should provide medical societies with advanced breadth and depth of mycological expertise. In addition, the journal supplements infectious diseases in adjunct to the field of mycology to address a well-rounded understanding of infectious disorders. The Journal of mycology and infection, which is issued quarterly, in March, June, September and December each year, published in English. The scope of the Journal of mycology and infection includes invited reviews, original articles, case reports, letter to the editor, and images in mycology. The journal is compliant to peer-review/open access and all articles undergo rigorous reviewing processes by our internationally acknowledged team of editorial boards. The articles directed to publication should encompass in-depth materials that employ scholastic values of mycology and various infectious diseases. Articles responding to critical methodology and outcomes which have potential to enhance better understanding of mycology and infectious diseases are also suitable for publication.
