    Fungal Diseases (Mycoses)

    Uploaded by

    Ranty
    This document discusses several fungal diseases (mycoses) including: - Isolation and growth of fungi which typically grow on media with simple nitrogen and carbohydrate sources at pH 7. Inhibitory Mold Agar is often used to recover fungi from clinical specimens. - Pathogenic fungi can exhibit a morphological transition between mycelial and parasitic yeast forms. Thermal dimorphism is common. - Superficial mycoses include those caused by Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton such as ringworm. - Subcutaneous mycoses discussed are blastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis. Drugs of choice for treatment
