Mycosis (mycotic disease)

fungal pathogens in humans


- opportunisitc and virulent

True (primary) fungal pathogen

invades and grows in health (uncompormised) animal host


- existed through evolutionary variant allowing fungi to grow in high temperature/low oxygen environment

thermal dimorphism

hyphal cells turn to yeast cells to allow them to grown in the new (high temp/low oxygen) environment

page 667 - fungal pathogens

pg 668 - more fungal pathogens

pg 668 - true and opportunistic fungal pathogens

opportunisitc

invades when immune system is compromised

pg 669 - thermal dimorphism

pg 669 - opportunistic fungi and conditions for growth

pathogenesis of fungus

invade body through respiratory, mucous & cutaneous routes


thermal dimorphism aids virulence



pg 671 - cultures needed for fungal assessment/identification

pg 672 - antifungal drugs

Histoplasmosis

Coccidioidomycosis

Blastomyces dermatitidis

subcutaneous mycoces

enter through traumatized skin


only exist just below skin


cannot survive in high temp/low O2 of skin

Sporotrichosis

live in warm and temperate environments


can't withstand heat - heat packs on lesions can resolve infections


G.R.O.S.S.!

Chromoblastomycosis


Phaeohyphomycosis

don't go barefoot - it's gross

Mycetoma - infects feet and hands - looks like superficial tumor - again, gross

Ringworms - cutaneous mycoses

tinea capitis

ringworm of head

tinea barbae

lower chin (ringworm of beard)

tinea corporis

ringworm of body

tinea cruris

ringworm of groin

tinea pedis

ringworm of foot

tinea mannum

ringworm of hand

tinea unguium

ringworm of nail

Piedras

white fungus on hair shaft

Candida albicans

oral thrush! - yum!

Cryptococus neoformans


Pneumocystis jirovecii


Aspergillus


Zygomycosis


Fungal allergies
