Invasive fungal infections after natural disasters
Open accessAbstract
The link between natural disasters and subsequent fungal infections in disaster-affected persons has been increasingly recognized. Fungal respiratory conditions associated with disasters include coccidioidomycosis, and fungi are among several organisms that can cause near-drowning pneumonia. Wound contamination with organic matter can lead to post-disaster skin and soft tissue fungal infections, notably mucormycosis. The role of climate change in the environmental growth, distribution, and dispersal mechanisms of pathogenic fungi is not fully understood; however, ongoing climate change could lead to increased disaster-associated fungal infections. Fungal infections are an often-overlooked clinical and public health issue, and increased awareness by health care providers, public health professionals, and community members regarding disaster-associated fungal infections is needed.

The incidence of infectious skin disease has been shifting due to climate conditions that favor the transmission of microbes, and global skin cancer risk is rising due to ozone layer depletion.
“The incidence of infectious skin disease has been shifting due to climate conditions that favor the transmission of microbes, and global skin cancer risk is rising due to ozone layer depletion [98,99,100,101].”
From The Environmental Determinants of Skin Health: Linking Climate Change, Air Pollution, and the Dermatologic Disease Burden (2025) · cites this paper as [100]
The sections “Pathogenic Fungi and the Environment” and “Disasters, Fungi, and Global Climate Change” link climate conditions to fungal distribution and some infection patterns, including cutaneous infections after disasters. They do not establish a general shift in infectious skin disease incidence, and the paper does not address ozone depletion or skin cancer risk. Our indexed copy provides no page numbers for these passages. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
