“…The overall burden of fungal diseases in Oman is unknown and is difficult to quantify because these infections are likely substantially underdiagnosed, and no national public health surveillance exists for any fungal disease. A few studies have reported on the fungal disease in Oman, mostly case reports [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].
