Abstract

Generally, Candidiasis is the widespread infection of the yeasts. Many microscopic organisms and Candida species play an important role in this complex infection of the fungi, but Candida albicans is the most prevalent. This fungal infection has been observed to be an impressive growth during the last two decades. This infection occurs in different systems of the body including the tract of the respiratory and urinary systems, in both the individuals that are immune compromised and nosocomial infections and even in healthy individuals. This fungal infection is caused by a number of agents; thus, we can say that Candidiasis is a syndrome of various factors. Due to rapid increase in the incidence in these infections, this is the subject of numerous studies. In recent times, concern is given to the treatment of this disease, but the complications of the prevention are also of great attention. One is not able to diagnose the disease as it is complicated. Thus, the most effective treatment of this disease is to prevent oneself from the infection of the causative agents. Dermatophytosis is a common contagious disease caused by fungi known as dermatophytes. Dermatophytes belong to a group of organisms that are able to break down the keratin in tissues such as the epidermis, hair, nails, feathers, horns, and hooves. Most of these fungi reside in the soil and are involved in decomposition; however, the dermatophytes can infect living hosts. Some dermatophytes (anthropophilic species) are adapted to humans and are usually transmitted from person to person. Others (zoophilic species) are adapted to animals. A few (geophilic) species normally live in the environment, but occasionally act as parasites. The zoophilic and geophilic species are sometimes transmitted from animals to people. It is also possible for humans to transmit anthropophilic dermatophytes to animals, although this seems to be uncommon.Keywords Candidiasis DermatophytosisFungal diseasesInfectionsPreventionTreatment
