| Sumario: | <p>Cutaneous mycoses are caused by a wide variety of fungi. Depending on their classification, they can be superficial, subcutaneous, or deep, and are more common in countries with tropical climates. Diagnosis is initially clinical and is complemented by the use of direct or indirect tests. For example, subcutaneous infections invade the skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue. Treatment can be either local or systemic. The management of systemic or deep mycoses is essential, as some infections can cause generalized forms in immunosuppressed patients, leading to severe cases of lesions in the skin, lungs, bones, brain, or other organs, with high mortality if not diagnosed early. This chapter is justified by the need to review the latest advances in cutaneous mycoses.</p> |
