  "abstract": "Contex: Stress-induced states, such as anxiety and depression, can disrupt the microbiota's normal regulation of fungal overgrowth.\n\nEvidence Acquisition: We searched the PubMed database for studies reporting on criteria such as psychological stress, immune system dysregulation, and microbial infection susceptibility\n\nResults: Of particular concern is the relationship between stress and susceptibility to microbial infections. Microbial infections complicated by systemic inflammatory responses represent a significant public health challenge. Furthermore, certain treatments for microbial infections, including antifungal therapy and surgery for invasive aspergillosis (IA), can induce side effects that may exacerbate stress and anxiety.\n\nConclusion: This review has elucidated how stress influences susceptibility to microbial infections, particularly IA. The findings suggest that effective stress management is important in preventing and treating microbial infections.",
