Introduction

Fungal Infections (Mycosis) Fungal infections are any disease or

condition you get from a fungus. They usually affect your skin, hair,
nails or mucous membranes but they can also infect your lungs or
other parts of your body. You're at higher risk for fungal infections if
you have a weakened immune system.
Some of the most common are athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and
yeast infections. Anyone can get a fungal infection, even people who are
otherwise healthy. Fungi are common in the environment, and people
breathe in or come in contact with fungal spores every day without
getting sick. However, in people with weakened immune systems, these
fungi are more likely to cause an infection.
