Other mycoses, not elsewhere classified - what does this mean
Other mycoses, not elsewhere classified, are a group of fungal infections caused by fungi that are not typically found in humans. these infections can be spread through direct contact with infected materials, inhalation of fungal spores, or ingestion of contaminated food or water. symptoms vary depending on the type of fungus, but may include skin rashes, fever, and muscle aches. treatment often involves antifungal medications.
What happens during the disease - other mycoses, not elsewhere classified
Other mycoses, not elsewhere classified, is a broad term that encompasses a wide variety of fungal infections caused by fungi from different genera. these infections can occur in any area of the body, and the pathogenesis of each individual infection is dependent on the species of fungus involved. in general, the infection begins when the fungal spores enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or direct contact with the skin. after entering the body, the spores can disseminate to different organs, where they can establish an infection. the severity of the infection depends on the individual's immune system and the virulence of the fungus.
