In 1839 Johann Lucas Schönlein discovered fungal elements within the lesions of favus of man. So it was Schönlein, who for the first time recognized the fungal nature of a disease of humans. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Schönlein's observations a report is given on the history and development of medical mycology in Europe and especially in Germany.

In recent decades, many fungi have emerged as major causes of disease in marine mammals. This study reports on the detection of filamentous fungi in the subcutaneous tissue and wound surface on the tail fin of a managed bottlenose dolphin () emaciated due to severe digestive problems. Immunosuppression by chronic diseases and starvation decreased resistance against opportunistic infections.

Sensitisation to thermotolerant fungi such as Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans which can colonise the airways is associated with poor lung function in children with asthma. Dysbiosis of bacteria and fungi in the airway microbiome has been reported between health and asthma but has yet to be characterised for fungal sensitised asthmatic children. We investigated if microbial diversity of the airways is altered in fungal sensitised school-age asthmatic children.
