Abstract
Fungal infections in children, particularly neonates, represent a significant public health concern due to their increasing prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality. This review examines the diverse types of pathogenic fungi affecting pediatric populations, emphasizing the predisposing factors that heighten their susceptibility, such as prolonged antibiotic use, prematurity, and the presence of underlying health conditions. Despite the critical nature of these infections, there remains a notable lack of comprehensive research on their epidemiology, pathogenesis, and effective treatment strategies. We detail the clinical manifestations of infections caused by various fungi, including Candida, Aspergillus, and Fusarium species, and highlight the challenges associated with early diagnosis and timely intervention. This study underscores the urgent need for enhanced awareness and understanding of fungal infections in children to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the risk of severe complications. Future directions for research and improved clinical practices in managing these infections are proposed, aiming to equip pediatric healthcare providers with the necessary knowledge and tools to combat this rising threat.
