AB Opportunistic  fungi  fail  to  induce  disease  in  most  immunocompetent  persons  but  can  do  so  in  those  with  impaired  host  defenses.  There  are  five  genera  of  medically  important  fungi:  Candida,  Cryptococcus,  Aspergillus,  Mucor,  and  Rhizopus.  Important  features  of  the  opportunistic  fungal  diseases  are  described  in  Table  50–1.
