Background
The prevalence of fungal infections in Vietnam is poorly
described, and there is no formal surveillance
Results
Total population
90,796,000
Fungal infections are of increasing clinical and
economic importance world wide, with mortality ranging
from 15-50%
We estimated the incidence and prevalence of fungal
diseases in Vietnam, using a validated actuarial
approach
Methods
Estimates were based on current reports from Vietnam,
epidemiological studies from the local region and global
data
22.9%
Female >50
17.2%
Prevalence of asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD), Tuberculosis (TB), cancer, transplant
and intensive care were derived from local and regional
data sources, and personal communications
The actuarial approach used was previously described
by Denning1

Conclusion
This is the first attempt to comprehensively describe invasive fungal infections in Vietnam and
suggests that the majority of severe disease is due to Aspergillus species, driven by the high
incidence of pulmonary TB
The AIDS epidemic highlights opportunistic infections, such as penicilliosis and cryptococcosis.
Penicilliosis is a problem unique to South and South East Asia. As the availability of transplants and
other immune-modulating therapies increase, the epidemiology of fungal infection is likely to change

These data should be verified by further epidemiological approaches – but in the absence of formal
surveillance, they provide a useful baseline indication of disease prevalence to inform future research
and resource allocation
