Systemic tropical mycoses are increasing, especially in immunocompromised individuals. This review details six key fungal infections, aiding diagnosis and treatment for physicians encountering these imported diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Systemic tropical mycoses have emerged significantly since the AIDS epidemic.
  • Incidence is likely underestimated due to limited access to diagnostics in endemic regions.
  • Imported cases present diagnostic challenges for European physicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide current epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic information.
  • To review six specific systemic mycoses with disseminated forms.
  • To aid in the differential diagnosis of imported fungal infections.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of systemic tropical mycoses.
  • Focus on histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, sporotrichosis, and penicilliosis.

  • Exclusion of superficial and subcutaneous mycoses.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed data on the epidemiology of six major systemic mycoses.
    • Clinical presentation and diagnostic approaches are outlined.
    • Current therapeutic strategies are discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis and management of systemic tropical mycoses are crucial.
    • Physicians must be aware of these infections in travelers and immigrants.
    • Further research is needed to improve diagnostics and treatment accessibility.
