Cannabis Use and Fungal Infections in a Commercially Insured Population, United States, 2016 - Volume 26, Number 6—June 2020 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC
Abstract
Case reports have identified invasive fungal diseases in persons who use cannabis, and fungal contamination of cannabis has been described. In a large health insurance claims database, persons who used cannabis were 3.5 (95% CI 2.6-4.8) times more likely than persons who did not use cannabis to have a fungal infection in 2016.
