Serious fungal infections (SFIs) with comparable morbidity rate in these countries remain neglected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To estimate the burden of SFI in Togo and to stimulate efforts for improved attention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Literature was thoroughly searched for epidemiological data on SFI in Togo. Incidence and\/or prevalence of SFI was estimated using socio\u2010demographics, health system's information, risk\u2010groups data and SFI rates obtained from national and international studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>About 5.29% of the 7,265,286 Togolese population is estimated to suffer from SFI annually. Among HIV patients, 1,342, 1,650 and 330 may develop cryptococcal meningitis, <jats:italic>Pneumocystis<\/jats:italic> pneumonia and disseminated histoplasmosis respectively per year. Oral and oesophageal candidiasis may annually affect 19,800 and 7,535 persons, respectively, living with HIV. Estimated incidence of invasive aspergillosis (IA) was 283 cases. Prevalence of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) was estimated at 191 cases. The annual incidence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS) was 4,577 and 6,042 cases, respectively. Tinea capitis and recurrent <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> vaginitis presumably affect 232,271 children and 108,979 women respectively. Candidaemia incidence is estimated at 5 cases per 100, 000 inhabitants and fungal keratitis may affect 981 persons annually.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>SFIs in Togo are probably more significant than expected. These findings underscore the need to increase awareness among healthcare professionals, enhance diagnostic and therapeutic capacities and intensify epidemiological studies for effective management of fungal infections in Togo.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.13377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,1]],"date-time":"2021-10-01T12:55:24Z","timestamp":1633092924000},"page":"1535-1541","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Estimated burden of serious fungal infections in Togo"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"64","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1030-7757","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ameyo M.","family":"Dorkenoo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9partement de Parasitologie\u2010Mycologie Facult\u00e9 des Sciences de la Sant\u00e9 Universit\u00e9 de Lom\u00e9 Lom\u00e9 Togo"},{"name":"Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 et de l\u2019Hygi\u00e8ne Publique Lom\u00e9 Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akovi K.","family":"Adjetey\u2010Toglozombio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9partement de Parasitologie\u2010Mycologie Facult\u00e9 des Sciences de la Sant\u00e9 Universit\u00e9 de Lom\u00e9 Lom\u00e9 Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bright K.","family":"Ocansey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infection, Immunity and Respiratory Medicine Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health University of Manchester Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Efoe","family":"Sossou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 et de l\u2019Hygi\u00e8ne Publique Lom\u00e9 Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fiali","family":"Lack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 et de l\u2019Hygi\u00e8ne Publique Lom\u00e9 Togo"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5626-2251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David W.","family":"Denning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infection, Immunity and Respiratory Medicine Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health University of Manchester Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"DSINISI Direction de Syst\u00e8me National d\u2019Information Sanitaire et de I\u2019Informatique.Annuaire Des Statistiques Sanitaires Du Togo.
