Abstract:
Fungal infections are a significant global health concern, ranging from mild superficial infections to severe systemic diseases. This project explores the general types of fungal infections, highlighting their classification, causes, and common manifestations. A special focus is given to dermatophytosis, one of the most prevalent superficial fungal infections affecting skin, hair, and nails. The study discusses the etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment options for dermatophytosis, along with preventive measures to reduce its spread. By comparing different fungal infections and analyzing the local prevalence of dermatophytosis, this project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of fungal diseases, their impact on human health, and the importance of early diagnosis and effective management.
Keywords: Fungal infections, Dermatophytosis, Superficial mycoses, Skin infections, Hair infections, Nail infections, Etiology, Epidemiology, Treatment, Prevention.
