\"\"<\/a>An infection or disease caused by a fungus.<\/p>\n

\n

Any disease caused by a fungus, e.g. athlete\u2019s foot.<\/p>\n

\n

A system-wide fungal infection or disease. In people who are otherwise in good health, mycosis tends to be chronic, usually with mild symptoms, but sometimes produces fever, chills, night sweats, loss of appetite and weight, malaise, and psychological depression. When the fungus causing mycosis is inhaled into the lungs and spreads from there it can affect various organs of the body. The liver, spleen, and bone marrow may be involved; when the brain becomes involved, chronic meningitis develops.<\/p>\n

\n

Any disease caused by a fungus, including actinomycosis, aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, rhinosporidiosis, ringworm, and sporotrichosis.<\/p>\n

\n

The general term applied to diseases due to the growth of fungi in the body. Among some of the simplest and commonest mycoses are ringworm, favus, and thrush (candida). The madura foot of India, actinomycosis, and occasional cases of pneumonia and suppurative ear disease are also due to the growth of moulds in the body tissues. Other forms of mycosis include aspergillosis, candidiasis, cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis.<\/p>\n

\n

An affliction brought about by a parasitic fungus, or a malady thereby induced.<\/p>\n

\n

A disease resulting from fungal infection. This can be a surface-level infection, like tinea capitis, tinea barbae, or tinea cruris, where the fungus affects the skin. Alternatively, it can be a more profound infection, such as actinomycosis, mycetoma, and coccidioidomycosis, where the infection can spread throughout the body.<\/p>\n
