What are the causes of deep fungal infection?

summary

Fungi are widely distributed in nature. There are more than 100000 species of fungi recorded in the world. Most of them are harmless to human body, and a few can cause human diseases. According to the depth of invasion, these pathogens can be divided into superficial fungi and deep fungi. Fungi that infect human beings mainly exist in the external environment, and can cause diseases through contact, inhalation and ingestion. Most pathogenic bacteria are conditional pathogens, that is, only under certain conditions can human beings get sick. How these conditions are formed is also the cause of fungal infection. The following is a brief description.

What are the causes of deep fungal infection?

1. First of all, contact with fungal infection or asymptomatic carriers. Some fungi can be indirectly infected through direct contact and indirect sharing of goods. Therefore, if there are patients with fungal infection at home, we must do a good job in disinfection and isolation, especially tinea capitis, tinea corporis, tinea manus and tinea pedis, etc.

2. Another point is that people with decreased immunity are susceptible to fungi. Elderly people with physical failure, malnourished people, patients with long-term immunosuppression due to organ transplantation and other reasons. In addition, long-term use of glucocorticoids and broad-spectrum antibiotics will also reduce immunity.

3. Some people suffering from AIDS, diabetes and chronic consumptive diseases are also susceptible to fungi, which may be related to the human body's own immunity. In addition, obese and sweaty people are also susceptible to fungi, which may be related to the fact that most fungi prefer a mild and humid environment.

matters needing attention

The treatment of fungal infection is more difficult, most of the symptoms are stubborn, repeated, and the treatment course is longer, so try to reduce the possibility of fungal infection and eliminate pathogenic factors. Of course, if there are symptoms of fungal infection, we should also treat them as soon as possible.
