Medical mycology

Medical mycology is a branch of mycological science that studies parasitic fungi that are pathogenic to humans, as well as human mycological diseases (mycoses) and develops methods for their recognition, prevention and treatment. Human mycological diseases are widespread in the world and pose a serious threat to human health and life. In this article we will look at what medical mycology and fungal diseases are, and how treatment for these diseases can be achieved.

What is mycology

Mycology is the science that studies

Medical mycology is a branch of medical mycology that examines parasitic fungi that pose a danger to the human body and aspects of human fungal diseases as research in the field.

Pathogenic fungi and diagnostic methods

The main goal of medical mycology is to identify the most harmful pathogenic fungi (they are divided into several types - moldy, yeast, mycelium, etc.). In addition, science is engaged in describing the role of mushrooms in the human and environmental world.

Medical mycology has discovered many factors that are the cause and substrate of the origin of infectious non-infectious diseases. Such factors include pathogens in the form of mycetes and certain types of fungi. There are about two thousand such pathogens in medical practice. They can affect different organs. The digestive and respiratory systems are most often affected. It is not uncommon that due to mycoses, respiratory diseases of acute respiratory viral infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, pharyngitis, pathologies of the central nervous system (meningitis, myelitis), cardiac
