Deep Fungal Infections

As part of our commitment to resident education, Cutis is excited to offer this new monthly section with board-relevant, easy-to-review material. Each month this section will focus on the key facts of commonly tested topics. It will be a resource for review while on the go, for group study, or for last-minute preparation. This section is not meant to be comprehensive but rather a supplement to other study materials.

The deep fungal infections are an important group of infectious diseases that can have both cutaneous and systemic manifestations, especially in immunosuppressed populations. This fact sheet contains a review of some of the most commonly tested entities that should not be missed clinically.
