Chapter 33.1, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Mycoses can be refereed as the fungal infection which can occur on or inside the body of the organisms. Depending upon the severity of infection, mycoses can be categorized into three categories: Superficial mycoses, Subcutaneous mycoses, and Systemic mycoses. Superficial mycoses affect only surface parts of skin, nails or hair; subcutaneous mycoses affect deeper and underlying layers of skin, and systemic mycoses affect internal organs of body.
