fungal-disease-systemic-mycoses, Study notes of Microbiology

This presentation explores systemic mycoses, which are fungal infections affecting internal organs or systems, often in immunocompromised individuals. We delve into the causative fungi, transmission routes, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic approaches. Key systemic mycoses like histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, and cryptococcosis will be highlighted, alongside the latest treatment options and preventive strategies. The presentation also emphasizes the significance of early diagnosis and antifungal resistance in managing these potentially life-threatening infections.
