Background: Despite kidney transplantation being a life-saving procedure, patients experience a high risk of developing fungal infections (FIs), with an increased risk of both morbidity and mortality, especially during the first year after transplant.
Methods: We herein conducted a narrative review of the most common FIs in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), with a focus on prevalence, risk factors, mortality, and prevention strategies.
Results: The most common fungal pathogens in KTRs include species (up to 70% of the overall FIs), species, , and species.

Data on the implementation of WHO recommendations regarding CrAg screening is limited. We estimated pooled prevalence of CrAg screening uptake, cryptococcal antigenemia, lumbar puncture, cryptococcal meningitis and initiation of preemptive antifungal medication from available eligible published studies conducted in Africa.

Fungal infections have become a growing concern in healthcare, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, with species like , , and posing significant challenges due to rising resistance and limited treatment options. In response, novel antifungal agents are being explored, including thiazolyl hydrazones. This study focuses on the development of a novel thiazolylhydrazone derivative, RW3.

Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease in humans and animals, caused by the and species complexes. Clinical cryptococcosis primarily manifests as upper respiratory tract disease; however, dissemination to other organs, particularly the brain, can occur. Nasal colonisation and subclinical cryptococcosis are common in koalas () due to their shared environmental niche with : trees.
