In this article we studied about the common fungal infections that affect humans in this review essay. Fungal infections that result from fungal pathogens are found all over the world. Given the daily rise in fungal infections and illnesses, a thorough understanding of these infections is crucial, particularly for prevention and treatment. Google Scholar research papers and review articles from various journals provided the information regarding these fungal infections. Twelve common fungal infections that infect humans were covered, including aspergillosis, Blastomycosis, Candida auris infection, Cryptococcosis, Mucormycosis, Talaromycosis, Mycetoma, and Keratitis. One common fungal infection that causes infection in humans is fungal nail infection. The pathophysiology, diagnostic methods for identifying the infection, and epidemiology of the infection of the causative agents causing the particular disease are reviewed. Additionally listed are appropriate treatments for both the prophylactic and infection cure of certain fungal infections. Patients with impaired immune systems are more likely to become infected.
