Systemic Mycosis

  • Conference paper
Dermatology in Five Continents

Abstract

The systemic mycoses form a group of diseases which are difficult to diagnose and treat. They attack the human organism, selecting sometimes the lung tissue as in coccidioidomycosis, in histoplasmosis etc., or spread through the blood stream attacking the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract, the circulatory system, the eyes, the bones, the joints, the skin, provoking fatal consequences for the patient, as in systemic candidiasis.
