ANTI-FUNGAL - ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS Flashcards
are caused by microscopic organisms that can invade EPITHELIAL TISSUE caused by yeast, molds, etc.
FUNGAL INFECTIONS
FUNGAL INFECTIONS CLASSIFICATION
- caused by DERMATOPHYTES
- these includes tinea infections affecting hair or hair follicles, flat areas of hairless skin and infection of the nails → incidence rate is high
- causative microbes are SAPROPHYTES with unusual ability to digest keratin
SUPERFICIAL INFECTIONS
FUNGAL INFECTIONS CLASSIFICATION
TRANSMITTED from one host to another
DEEP-SEATED MYCOSES
FUNGAL INFECTIONS CLASSIFICATION
- are caused by the INHALATION of SPORES affecting deeper tissues and organs and cause fungal pneumonia
SYSTEMIC INFECTIONS
can FUNGAL PNEUMONIA be transmitted from human to human?
NO
FUNGAL INFECTIONS CLASSIFICATION
can cause LIFE THREATENING infection to IMMUNOCOMPROMISED patients like patients with leukemia, cancer, HIV, diabetes, and patients currently using immunosuppresive agents, cytotoxins, irradiation and even steroids
OPPORTUNISTIC FUNGAL INFECTION
FUNGAL INFECTIONS CLASSIFICATION
- cause infections of the SKIN by dermatophytes in the Microsporum, Trichophyton or Epidermophyton genera
- these dermophytic infections are named for the site of infection rather than the causative organism
CUTANEOUS INFECTIONS
(dermatophytoses)
FUNGAL INFECTIONS CLASSIFICATION
- refers to group of fungal disease which BOTH the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUES are involved
- CHARACTERISTICS: soil saprophytes of very low grade virulence and invasive ability and they gain access as a result of trauma to the tissue
SUBCUTAENOUS MYCOSES
- LARGEST ORGAN
- directly exposed to external environment
SKIN
FORMIDABLE BARRIER to drug penetration
skin
