Proposed classification for endemicity of fungal infections. This schematic depicts the range of endemicity of fungal infections and discards the notion of “nonendemic,” replacing it with “not known to be endemic,” accounting for new areas of infection acquisition. It also accounts for the variability in the intensity of endemicity and indicates that the presence of a fungus in the environment may be transient as the result of environmental influences.
