With increasing concern about the negative health impact of fungal disease, there is a need to survey what is and is not known about the epidemiology of these infections in Tunisia. We have estimated the incidence and prevalence of the most serious fungal diseases in Tunisia for the first time. Using published literature from Tunisia, or if absent other countries, we have estimated the burden of life-threatening fungal infections and those causing significant morbidity, using deterministic modeling, based on populations at greatest risk. An estimated 250,494 (2.12% of the Tunisian population) are affected by a serious fungal disease annually. Invasive and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis are relatively common with 708 and 2090 patients affected, partly linked to the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fungal asthma (allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and severe asthma with fungal sensitization) have an estimated prevalence of 38,264 (5.8% of the adult asthma population). Fungal keratitis probably affects 1,761 eyes annually, often leading to uniocular blindness. Candidaemia and Candida peritonitis probably affect at least 680 people annually, with a high mortality. Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis probably affects over 200,000 women. While fungal diseases are regularly diagnosed in Tunisia, epidemiological studies with denominators are uncommon. Some fungal diseases are poorly addressed with the current diagnostic portfolio, and surveillance is lacking. Studies on these diseases and the implementation of a national program of surveillance are required.
