Opportunistic mycoses - what does this mean

Opportunistic mycoses are fungal infections that occur when a person's immune system is weakened, allowing fungi to invade and grow. these infections are often caused by fungi found in the environment, such as aspergillus, cryptococcus, and candida. symptoms vary depending on the type of fungus, but can include skin lesions, fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.

What happens during the disease - opportunistic mycoses

Opportunistic mycoses are caused by fungi that normally exist in the environment but can cause infection when a person's immune system is weakened. this can happen due to age, underlying medical conditions, certain medications, or a weakened immune system from hiv/aids. these fungi can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or through breaks in the skin. once inside the body, the fungi can cause an infection by releasing toxins and damaging nearby tissues.
