In recent years, an increase of tourist flow, strengthening of social and economic connections between the countries take place. The processes of the world economy globalization, development of international transport systems, and migration of population form preconditions for the spread of new infectious diseases in the territory of Russia and CIS countries. Imported cases of blastomycosis and paracoccidioidomycosis are already registered in many countries of Europe and Asia among persons who returned from endemic countries. Thus, it is likely to find infected persons and patients in Russia. The purpose of our review is to provide data indicating the need for improvement of methods for epidemiological control of blastomycosis and paracoccidioidomycosis. Diagnostic studies should be carried out by competent personnel in specialized laboratories that meet the necessary safety requirements. Thus, awareness about these diseases of as many experts as possible, guarantees the successful implementation of strategies for diagnostics and treatment.
