Fungal Human Pathogens: Mycosis Categories
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Cutaneous and systemic mycoses classify by depth of invasion; opportunistic instead names infections striking a weakened host.
Show
Athlete's foot is cutaneous; histoplasmosis, entering the lungs, is systemic; candidiasis is opportunistic and can itself turn systemic.
Watch for
Opportunistic classifies by host condition, not depth, and cuts across cutaneous and systemic — an opportunistic mycosis can itself be systemic.
