Mycosis is an infectious disease caused by fungi as parasites in living tissue. The [pathogens] can be mycelium fungi and yeasts.
Due to uniform therapies in medicine, there are often coarse differences between * dermatophytes (filamentous fungi), * yeasts (shoot fungi) and * moulds.
Following the localisation, the mycoses can be divided into superficial mycoses - these include, for example, mycoses of the skin (caused by dermatophytes), the nails and the mucous membranes - and systemic mycoses.
