Fungal infection is usually associated with a weak immune system, with people suffering from HIV and AIDS, and those undergoing high dosage chemotherapy more susceptible to invasive fungal infections. Anti-fungal drugs work against fungal infections by either killing the fungal cells or by inhibiting their growth.
