In general the diseases caused by fungi are called mycosis (plural: mycoses). They are classified as any fungus that invades the tissues, causing (1) superficial (skin), (2)subcutaneous, or (3) systemic disease. For example athlete’s foot is caused by a cutaneous (skin) fungi. Another example is histoplasmosis, marked by respiratory distress and it is a systemic infection. Antibiotics can not be used as those that will kill the fungus will also harm your cells. Griseofulvin, Amphotericin B and flucytosine are among the few drugs that can be used.
