Addressing the fungal diagnostic gap in LMICs Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 23 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01216-4The WHO fungal priority pathogens list exposes critical diagnostic gaps in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where limited access to rapid, affordable tests hinders timely treatment. To reduce mortality, LMICs must urgently invest in laboratory capacity, training and point-of-care diagnostics, especially for fungal diseases associated with HIV (cryptococcosis, Pneumocystis pneumonia and histoplasmosis), tuberculosis (chronic pulmonary aspergillosis), hospital-acquired candidiasis and the fungal neglected tropical diseases. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-025-01216-4?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nrmicro
