This chapter discusses the principles of medical mycology together with an introductory section on pathogenesis and the methods used to diagnose fungal infections. These are then set in the context of human fungal infections affecting the skin. The more common superficial mycoses such as dermatophyte and Candida infection are included together with the rarer subcutaneous mycoses such as sporotrichosis and the deep and systemic infections. The main HIV/AIDS‐related conditions are covered from diagnosis to treatment. The treatment regimens are summarized using simple algorithms and there is a useful glossary of the mycological terms used in the chapter.

Fungal infections are diseases affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue. They include common conditions such as dermatophytosis or ringworm, Malassezia infection and superficial Candida infection. Subcutaneous fungal infections are now amongst the conditions classified as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) or skin NTDs. Life‐threatening systemic mycoses which are internal infections can also affect the skin, often after blood stream dissemination. They are diagnosed by a combination of microscopy, histopathology and fungal culture, which is increasingly being replaced by molecular detection methods. There is also a wide range of antifungal agents available including griseofulvin, topical azole antifungals, itraconazole, fluconazole and the allylamine, terbinafine. Deeper infections are often treated with voriconazole, amphotericin B or echinocandin drugs, although there are increasing reports of antifungal drug resistance.
