38
Q

Malassezia sp

A

e.g. Dandruff, Pityriasis versicolor

39
Q

subcutaneous mycoses infections occur through

A

puncture wounds e.g.The causative organisms normally live in the soil living on rotting vegetation. They can get pricked into the skin as a result of an injury but usually stay localised at the site of implantation.

40
Q

examples of subcutaneous mycoses infections

A

rare: black moulds, madurella mycoses

41
Q

black moulds

A

chromoblastomycosis

42
Q

deep seated/systemic infections

A

single deep organ or dissemination

43
Q

as many people die from the top 10 invasive fungal diseases

A

as from TB or malaria

44
Q

90% of all fungi related deaths are from

A

cyrptococcus, candida, aspergillum and pneumocystis

45
Q

systemic fungal infections may occur

A

from breathing in the spores of fungi, which normally live in the soil or rotting vegetation or as opportunistic disease in immune compromised individuals.

46
Q

inhaled fungal infection

A

Although uncommon, some may infect healthy individuals. The result is most often a mild infection and long lasting resistance to further attack, but occasionally these infections are more serious and chronic (especially in the immune suppressed). The organisms causing systemic fungal infections include:

Histoplasmosis
Coccidioidomycosis (North and South America)
47
Q

opportunistic pathogens

A

Other systemic mycoses only infect those who are already sick or with an immunodeficiency disorder
