29 Δεκ 2023 · Mycoses, or fungal infections, can be broadly classified as superficial, cutaneous, subcutaneous, and systemic, based on their degree of invasiveness. Superficial and cutaneous mycoses are both caused by fungi that affect the superficial layers of skin, hair, and nails .
Subcutaneous mycoses are localized infections of the skin and underlying tissues. It occurs when the fungus from the environment gains access to deeper tissues via a cut or puncture wound on the skin. An inflammatory response develops in the subcutaneous tissue frequently with extension into the epidermis.
Direct inoculation of a fungus into the skin, often by a splinter or other trauma, may result in subcutaneous mycoses. Clinically, subcutaneous mycoses result in an ulcer or verrucous plaque. The most common types are sporotrichosis, mycetoma, chromoblastomycosis, phaeohyphomycosis, and lobomycosis.
The clinical features of a systemic mycosis depend on the specific infection and which organs have been affected. Infections in people with normal immune function may result in very minor symptoms or none at all (this is called subclinical infection).
Mycoses are traditionally divided into superficial, subcutaneous, or systemic, where infection is deep, more widespread and involving internal body organs. [3] [11] They can affect the nails, vagina, skin and mouth. [18]
Mycoses that cause superficial infections of the epidermis, hair, and nails, are called cutaneous mycoses. Mycoses that penetrate the epidermis and the dermis to infect deeper tissues are called subcutaneous mycoses. Mycoses that spread throughout the body are called systemic mycoses.
