New Disease X? WHO warns of ‘fungal threat’ to humanity
In an echo of the agency’s warnings about viruses ahead of the pandemic, a list killer fungi is unveiled

When 38-year-old lawyer Vikram Trivedi caught coronavirus he was not overly concerned. Soon after his left eyeball, a large part of his sinus and the roof of his mouth were cut out in a desperate bid to save his life.

The life-changing surgery wasn’t necessitated by Covid-19 or even a bacterial infection; instead it was an aggressive “black fungus” that had taken hold in Mr Trivedi’s immunocompromised body. The doctors were left with no option but to remove it.

In some ways he was lucky. An estimated 4,300 Covid patients lost their lives to the fungus in India during the second wave of the pandemic in 2021.

Public health messaging has historically focused on two classes of pathogen – bacteria and viruses. But as the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Tuesday, the risk that fungal attack poses to humans is skyrocketing. The surge has been driven by Covid, mounting resistance to drugs and an increase of immunocompromised patients.

In an echo of 2018 when it released its priority pathogens list, including “Disease X”, the UN agency has published what it regards as the 19 most dangerous fungus.

“Emerging from the shadows of the bacterial antimicrobial resistance pandemic, fungal infections are growing, and are ever more resistant to treatments, becoming a public health concern worldwide,” said Dr Hanan Balkhy, WHO assistant director-general of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

The Global Action Fund for Fungal Infections estimates that more than 300 million people are afflicted with a serious fungal infection each year, while 1.6m die annually from the most common infections. It says a further 25m are at high risk of dying or losing their sight.

Infections aren’t confined by geography; people across the world are increasingly being hit with debilitating fungal diseases, including in the UK.

Typically the fungi kill by infesting the airways and attacking the nervous system including the brain.

Alan, a 75-year-old living in Northamptonshire, has been living with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis for 12 years. He told The Telegraph that the fungal infection, which lies in his lungs, leaves him in a house-bound state, with a permanent cough and bouts of exhaustion.

“It’s flu-like. My body is exhausted, everything aches, you keep falling asleep,” he said.

“It even affects his eyes, his vision,” his wife, Annie, added. “It’s an invisible illness that’s difficult to explain, difficult for people to understand.”

People whose immune systems have been weakened are at greatest risk of invasive fungal infections, such as those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer or treatment for HIV/Aids. Alan’s was detected nine months after having an abscess removed.

“Fungal diseases, particularly the invasive ones, are becoming more and more common, and these are particularly affecting vulnerable, immunocompromised patients,” said Haileyesus Getahun, one of the authors of the report, in an exclusive interview with The Telegraph.

“Over the last several decades we have increased our capacity to treat chronic infections [like HIV]... and so more and more people are now susceptible.”

Covid-19 is believed to have played a role, too. The reported incidence of invasive fungal infections increased significantly among hospitalised patients during the pandemic, “often with devastating
