The random\u2010effects estimates of the prevalence of fungal infection in the pemphigus population were 0.18% (95% CI: 9%\u201331%). Based on the findings, it was determined that four genera of fungal infections were related to mucocutaneous lesions of individuals diagnosed with pemphigus. Among these fungi, the most prevalent were those belonging to the <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> species, with a particular emphasis on <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content> (87.61%).
