Fungal infections are most common in integumentary and systemic parts of the body. The outbreak of fungal infections was observed in several disease conditions like Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), chronic obstructive disease (COPD), malignancies and others like COVID-19 associated Mucormycosis (Black fungus) among Indian population. The main objective of the study is to examine the recent advanced techniques available in India for the diagnosis of fungal infections. We conclude that the study has mainly focuses on the recent advances on the diagnosis of fungal infections in India. The prevalence of zoonotic fungal infections among humans is alarming, and global health is moving towards the existence of a one-health approach.
