- Candidiasis
Candidiasis. Available online at http://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/candidiasis/index.html. Accessed August 27, 2016. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (February 13, 2014 updated.) Genital/Vulvovagial Candidiasis (VVC). [labtestsonline.it]
Candidiasis of the Skin and Nails Candida albicans and other yeasts in the genus Candida can cause skin infections referred to as cutaneous candidiasis. [courses.lumenlearning.com]
Opportunistic Mycoses Candidiasis Candidiasis (due to C albicans and other Candida spp.) is the most common opportunistic fungal infection. Candida albicans is the most common cause of candidiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Candidiasis. See separate Candidiasis article. This is normally associated with predisposing factors - eg, neutropenia, antibiotic use, indwelling lines and abdominal surgery. [patient.info]
- Inflammation
Low dose prednisone or its equivalent can be maintained to control hepatic inflammation during vigorous antifungal therapy without jeopardizing cure of the fungal infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Haemoptysis (the coughing up of blood) is also sometimes seen, particularly if inflammation of the large airways is present. [dermnetnz.org]

- Pain
So if your doctor is conducting the proper test, they should be able to distinguish between pain and fatigue caused by fungal infection and pain caused by fibromyalgia. [fibromyalgiatreating.com]
General symptoms of illness may include: Fever Cough Loss of appetite Lungs Invasive lung mycoses typically result in a progressive dry cough, shortness of breath, pain when taking a deep breath and fever. [dermnetnz.org]
The lesion is mildly painful with no signs of systemic illness such as fever. Later on, new lesions begin to appear along the line of lymphatic tracts of the body. [lecturio.com]
Painful ulcerations and nodules appear in subcutaneous tissues in sporotrichosis ( Sporothrix ). In systemic fungal infections fungi may invade normal hosts or immunosuppressed hosts (opportunistic infections). [britannica.com]
Symptoms include cough, fever, dyspnoea and chest pain. It may resolve or progress with bloody, purulent sputum, pleurisy, fever, chills, loss of weight and prostration. [patient.info]
- Malaise
Symptoms are rarely intense in such chronic mycoses, but fever, chills, night sweats, anorexia, weight loss, malaise, and depression may occur. Various organs may be infected, causing symptoms and dysfunction. [merckmanuals.com]

- Microsporum
Superficial fungal infections, also called dermatophytosis, are confined to the skin and are caused by Microsporum, Trichophyton, or Epidermophyton; athlete’s foot, for example, is caused by Trichophyton or Epidermophyton. [britannica.com]
Fungi which commonly cause cutaneous mycoses belong to the Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton genuses, comprising 41 species in total. Subcutaneous mycoses can involve all layers of the skin and tissue such as fat and muscle underneath. [medic8.com]
About thirty different species of the genera Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton (collectively known as dermatophytes) cause infections commonly known as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. [innvista.com]
There are three genera of dermatophytes, all of which can cause cutaneous mycoses: Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum. [courses.lumenlearning.com]
Whereas, Microsporum spp. infect hair and skin, but do not involve nails. Trichophyton spp. may infect hair, skin, and nails. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Trichophyton Rubrum
Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes are the dermatophytes that cause athelete’s foot. Malassezia furfur causes a type of dandruff, as well as an infection known as Pityriasis versicolor (formerly Pityrosporum ovale and P. orbiculare ). [innvista.com]
This culture contains a strain of Trichophyton rubrum, one of the most common causes of tineas on various parts of the body. (credit: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Several approaches may be used to diagnose tineas. [courses.lumenlearning.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The common mode of transmission of sporotrichosis is through skin inoculation. The dimorphic organism is found in the soil and enters the skin via cuts, wounds, animal bites or scratches. [lecturio.com]
Prevention
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (June 12, 2015 updated.) Candidiasis. Available online at http://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/candidiasis/index.html. Accessed August 27, 2016. [labtestsonline.it]
Because candidiasis can become invasive, patients suffering from HIV/AIDS, cancer, or other conditions that compromise the immune system may benefit from preventive treatment. [courses.lumenlearning.com]
Prevention and follow-up There is no vaccine for prevention of sporotrichosis. Sporotrichosis can be prevented with the use of gloves and long sleeves while doing outdoor activities such as gardening. [lecturio.com]
