New cards

Aspergillosis

3
New cards

Candidiasis

acute, subacute or chronic to episodic, localized to the mouth, throat, skin, scalp, vagina, fingers, nails, bronchi, lungs, or the gastrointestinal tract, or become systemic as in septicaemia, endocarditis and meningitis

4
New cards

Chromoblastomycosis

dematiaceous (brown-pigmented), planate-dividing, rounded sclerotic bodies, Infections are caused by the traumatic implantation of fungal elements into the skin, common in bare footed populations living in tropical regions

5
New cards

Coccidioidomycosis

typically resolves rapidly , may progress to a chronic pulmonary condition or as a systemic disease involving the meninges, bones, joints and subcutaneous and cutaneous tissues

6
New cards

Cryptococcosis

Primary pulmonary infections have no diagnostic symptoms and are usually subclinical, predilection for the central nervous system, however skin, bones and other visceral organs may also become involved

New cards

Dermatophytosis (Ringworm and Tinea)

Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton

-dermatophytes which have the ability to utilize keratin as a nutrient source,

-No living tissue is invaded, induces an allergic and inflammatory eczematous response in the host,
