Family Tree of Fungal Disease

FAMILY TREE OF FUNGAL DISEASES BLASTOMYCOSIS CRYPTOCOCCOSIS DERMATOPHYTES Associated with decomposing organic Fungal infection caused by fungi that belong to the genus Cryptococcus Стурotococcus Neoformanas, Сурotococcus gati Weakened immune systems. Cause skin, hair and nail infections. Known as “Ringworm" or “tinea" Live on moist areas of the skin, on environmental surfaces, on household items such as clothing, towels and bedding. matter such as Wood and leaves. Causes: Lung Cancer FUNGAL SINUSITIS FAMILY Mycetoma Fungal Sinusitis Produces clumps of spores, “fungal ball", within a sinus cavity, most frequently the maxillary sinuses. Fungus doesn't cause a significant inflammatory response. Allergic Fungal Sinusitis (AFS) Allergic reaction to environmental fungi dispersed into the air. Chronic Indolent Sinusitis Invasive form of fungal sinusitis in patients without an identifiable immune deficiency. Mainly found in the Sudan and northern India. Symptoms include chronic headache and progressive facial swelling that can cause visual impairment. Fulminant Sinusitis Leads to progressive destruction of the sinuses, can invade the bony cavities containing the eyeball and brain. MUCORMYCOSIS (ZYGOMYCOSIS) NAIL FUNGAL INFECTIONS Rare infection. Found in soil and in Caused by Onchomycosis. Discolored (usually white or yellow), brittle, crumbly, thick, separated from the nail bed. Common in those over 60, with diabetes or circulation problems. association with decaying organic matter. PNEUMOCYSTIS (PNEUMONIA) SPOROTRICHOSIS Common fungus that may reside harmlessly in lungs, causes pneumonia when body's defenses are weakened due to cancer, drugs or AIDS. Symptoms: shortness of breath, dry cough, fever. Infection caused by Sporothrix Schenckii. Lives throughout the world in soil, plants and decaying vegetation. Cutaneous skin infection. TINEA VERSICOLOR ASPERGILLOSIS Yeast growing out of control in your skin. Spots on the skin and most common in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Found in soil, decaying vegetation, insulating materials, air conditioning vents and dust. Has ability to infect lungs and form growing fungal masses called aspergillomas. COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS HISTOPLASMOSIS AKA San Joaquin Fever, Valley Fever Fungal disease caused by Coccidiodes, that inhabit dry areas. Common in Arizona, Nevada, western Texas, central California. Symptoms are headache, fever, muscle aches, cough and skin rash and in extreme cases lung infection. Caused by Histoplasma Capsulatum. Bat and Bird droppings stimulate growth of fungus in soil. Some experience respiratory illness characterized by dry cough, fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches and chest pain. In rare cases can enter the bloodstream and infect other organs.
