Dermal Pathology of Superficial Fungus Infections

  • Chapter
The Pathologic Anatomy of Mycoses

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Speziellen Pathologischen Anatomie und Histologie ((1692,volume 3 / 5))

Abstract

During the past three decades there has been a tremendous increase in the search for knowledge of fungus infections of man and animals. Until about two decades ago, only dermatologists and a few pathologists shared the botanist’s interest in fungus diseases, but now almost every specialty includes discussions of the mycoses on scientific programs and in publications.

From the Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, Temple University School of Medicine; and The Skin and Cancer Hospital of Philadelphia, 3322 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19140.

This investigation was supported in part by Research Training Grant CA-05189, National Institutes of Health, United States Public Health Service, Bethesda, Maryland 20014.
