AB  - Deep  fungal  infections  comprise  two  distinct  groups  of  conditions,  the  subcutaneous  and  systemic  mycoses.  Neither  are  common,  and  the  subcutaneous  mycoses,  with  some  exceptions,  are  largely  confined  to  the  tropics  and  subtropics.  In  recent  years,  the  systemic  mycoses  have  become  important  opportunistic  infectious  complications  in  immunocompromised  patients,  including  those  with  acquired  immunodeficiency  syndrome  (AIDS)  and  patients  receiving  treatment  for  malignancies.  They  also  include  a  group  of  primary  respiratory  infections,  such  as  histoplasmosis  and  coccidioidomycosis,  which  may  affect  otherwise  healthy  individuals  and  those  with  underlying  illness.  The  fungi  that  cause  these  respiratory  infections  are  usually  dimorphic  or  exist  in  a  different  morphologic  phase  (e.g.,  yeast  or  mold)  at  different  stages  of  their  life  cycle.
