Mycoses are fungal skin infections caused by fungi and are primarily caused by three groups of fungi: dermatophytes, yeasts and molds. Dermatophytes cause fungal infections on head and feet, for instance, trichophyton and microsporum. Yeasts cause infections at the genital area, mouth area and esophagus. Example of yeast fungi includes candida and pityrosporum. Molds are responsible for infection in internal organs that results in systemic mycoses, for example, aspergillus. Systemic mycoses lead to the spread of fungi via bloodstream to other organs, causing multiple organ failure.

Various symptoms associated with mycoses are as follows:

Itchy and eczematous rash

Itching

Lumpy and thickened skin

Loss of appetite and weight loss

Fever

Red skin patches

Enlarged liver and spleen

Anemia

Mycoses are caused due to weakened immune systems, i.e., immunocompromised state that includes patients with HIV/AIDS and patients being treated with corticosteroids for a prolonged period. Other causes include poorly controlled diabetes, being overweight, and any sort of contact with contaminated items such as clothes, towel, etc. Tests used to diagnose mycoses include a general physical examination of the body, complete blood count, skin biopsy, flow cytometry and immunophenotyping.

Based on treatment, the mycoses market can be segmented as follows:

Photodynamic therapy: The therapy uses laser light and a drug to destroy the fungal cancer cells

Radiation therapy: The therapy uses high-energy X-rays or radiation to prevent the fungal cells from spreading

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy stops the growth of fungal cells with the aid of various drugs, either by preventing the cells from dividing or by killing the cells

Targeted therapy: The therapy identifies the affected cells without harming normal cells

Drug medication: Antifungal medications such as amphotericin B,...
