Summary: | Dermatomycosis is a fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nail caused by Trichophyton,
Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. These organisms are found in the environment, humans, and
animals in forms of yeast or mold. There are many factors that contribute to the growth of fungal
infections in human body. But still majority of virulent factors and mechanisms of the diseases of
fungi are not clear. This review paper describes types of fungal infections, their classification,
epidemiology and new insights into pathogenesis with the focus on molecular mechanisms of the
diseases. Furthermore, traditional and novel molecular diagnostic methods and the variety of drug
treatment and the development of resistance against these drugs are discussed. |
