This resolution expresses House support for designating the third week of September as "Fungal Disease Awareness Week" and encourages efforts to increase awareness and improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of fungal diseases across the United States. The resolution highlights several serious fungal health threats, including Valley Fever, which causes an estimated 20,000 cases annually in the U.S., particularly in the Southwest, and Candida auris, an emerging drug-resistant fungus that saw 6,304 new clinical cases in 2024. The measure calls on healthcare professionals, the CDC, state and local health departments, and other partners to better recognize fungal infections, which are often misdiagnosed as bacterial or viral pneumonia, leading to inappropriate treatment and delayed care. The resolution also emphasizes the need for stronger public health readiness, improved surveillance systems, expanded research into fungal diagnostics and treatments, and better communication about occupational and environmental risks. This is a non-binding resolution that carries no direct funding or specific timeline requirements but signals congressional support for increased focus on fungal disease prevention and response.
