Recent advances in novel medical care such as solid organ and stem cell transplantations, chemotherapy for cancer treatment, and corticosteroid therapy, resulted in the increased prevalence of invasive mycoses. Invasive aspergillosis, mucormycosis, and endemic mycoses are among the most common mold infections in Asia. Non-classical and novel risk factors of invasive fungal diseases have been increasingly recognized in Asia. In contrast to the classical neutropenic patients, most of the patients with invasive mycoses who had non-classical risk factors are mostly non-neutropenic and may present with an atypical clinical manifestation. These novel risk factors include biologic agents or small molecule kinase inhibitors used for cancer treatment, and severe viral pneumonia such as influenza pneumonia or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Recently, COVID-19-associated aspergillosis (CAPA) and COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) have been described. These particular mold infections had high mortal
