Prompt recognition of clinical symptoms and radiographic features of mucormycosis is required to establish timely diagnosis and initiate targeted therapy.

Several themes and challenges remain consistent across a diverse array of fungal outbreaks, including the multidisciplinary need for improved diagnostic testing to determine species and perform antifungal susceptibility testing, clinical awareness, and optimization of antifungal use. Recent outbreaks exemplify the growing promise of non-culture-based tools in identifying fungal outbreaks and improving responses, although access remains limited.
