A type of fungus that typically infects animals but can be transmitted to humans.

A type of fungus that primarily lives in soil and can infect humans through contact with contaminated soil.

A common fungal infection of the body that is characterized by round, reddish patches with a raised, active border.

A fungal infection of the feet, commonly called athlete's foot.

A fungal infection that affects the skin, mucous membranes, and nails, often caused by Candida albicans.

A common type of candidiasis that affects the mouth, causing white patches, soreness, and sometimes difficulty swallowing.

A type of candidiasis that affects the skin folds, causing redness, itching, and often a moist rash.

A type of tinea pedis characterized by scaling, fissuring, or erythema between the toes, particularly in the 3rd & 4th toe clefts.

A type of tinea pedis involving scaling on the plantar surface and sides of the feet, resembling the pattern of a moccasin.

A type of tinea pedis caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes, featuring pruritic, tense vesicles and bullae affecting the entire soles. Often associated with the moccasin type.

Tinea pedis caused by T. rubrum, characterized by mild maceration under the little toe and more extensive maceration of all toe web spaces. It may show sub-clinical infection.

A fungal infection of the nails, also known as Dermatophyte Onychomycosis, often caused by Trichophyton species.

A type of tinea unguium where the nail lifts up from the nail bed and crumbles at the free edge. Usually caused by T. rubrum.

A type of tinea unguium characterized by flaky white patches on the surface of the nail plate. Can be caused by different fungi like T. mentagrophytes, Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Acremonium.

A type of tinea unguium that affects the nail bed and can lead to white discoloration under the nail. Associated with HIV.

A fungal infection of the scalp that can exist in two forms: non-inflammatory, characterized by scaly patches and hair breakage, and inflammatory, causing swelling, crusting, and hair loss.

A type of inflammatory tinea capitis caused by dermatophytes of animal origin, leading to boggy swelling and inflammation on the scalp.

A severe form of scalp infection caused by a specific fungus (Trichophyton schoenleinii), characterized by yellow cup-shaped crusts and distinctive hair shaft features.

A reaction to fungal infection on the body caused by a systemic response to fungal antigens. It often appears as itchy, raised bumps and rashes on the trunk and extremities.

A fungal infection of the beard and moustache, often seen in individuals who work closely with animals, such as ranchers or farmers.

A fungal infection of the hands, typically caused by contact with animals harboring zoophilic fungi. It often presents with scaling, redness, and pustules.

A fungal infection of the feet, commonly called athlete's foot, primarily caused by two common fungi. It typically causes scaling, maceration, and itching between the toes.

Fungi that typically infect animals but can be transmitted to humans, often causing infections such as Tinea barbae or Tinea manuum.

A type of fungal infection caused by zoophilic dermatophytes, commonly seen in individuals who work with or have contact with animals.

A chronic, superficial fungal infection of the skin caused by the lipophilic yeast Malassezia furfur and Malassezia globosa. It is characterized by small, hypopigmented or hyperpigmented macules that are usually asymptomatic.

The most common sites of Pityriasis versicolor are the back, underarms, upper arms, chest, and neck.

Pityriasis versicolor is most prevalent in adolescents and young adults, especially males. It is also linked to hot and humid climates and increased sweating.

A fungal infection of the skin that is caused by the yeast Candida albicans. It is often called a yeast infection.

Infancy, pregnancy, old age, disorders of immune function (e.g., leukemia, corticosteroid therapy), chemotherapy, endocrine disorders (e.g., diabetes mellitus), and carcinoma can all increase the risk of candidiasis.

Candida albicans, a normally harmless commensal organism, can become pathogenic under certain conditions. These include diabetes, other endocrine disorders, and antibiotic use.

The diagnosis of Pityriasis versicolor is typically based on clinical presentation, KOH smear examination, and Wood lamp examination.

KOH smear examination shows "spaghetti and meatballs" like appearance under the microscope.

Wood lamp examination reveals a yellow-orange fluorescence in the lesions of Pityriasis versicolor.

Anti-fungal creams, lotions, or shampoos containing agents like ketoconazole, terbinafine, and selenium sulfide are typically effective in treating Pityriasis Versicolor.
