該雜志提供了一個國際論壇的英文原版論文的發病機制，診斷，治療，預防，流行病學的真菌傳染病在人類，以及致病真菌的生物學。醫學真菌學作為醫學微生物學的一部分正在迅速發展。有效的治療策略已經在化療中可用，并正在進一步發展。它們的應用需要可靠的實驗室診斷技術，而這些技術又是真菌學基礎研究的結果。機會性真菌病的臨床和病理癥狀差異很大，因為處于危險中的患者的潛在疾病決定了其癥狀和進展。因此，《真菌》雜志對從事基礎真菌學研究的科學家、真菌學實驗室診斷學家和對真菌感染感興趣的臨床醫生很感興趣。

The journal Mycoses provides an international forum for original papers in English on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prophylaxis, and epidemiology of fungal infectious diseases in humans as well as on the biology of pathogenic fungi. Medical mycology as part of medical microbiology is advancing rapidly. Effective therapeutic strategies are already available in chemotherapy and are being further developed. Their application requires reliable laboratory diagnostic techniques, which, in turn, result from mycological basic research. Opportunistic mycoses vary greatly in their clinical and pathological symptoms, because the underlying disease of a patient at risk decisively determines their symptomatology and progress. The journal Mycoses is therefore of interest to scientists in fundamental mycological research, mycological laboratory diagnosticians and clinicians interested in fungal infections.
