Abstract:
The authors present a survey of medically important microscopic fungi whose classification were critically revised and correctly named in the last few years. The list was adopted from a paper of American mycologists trying to make the nomenclature of mycotic agents more precise and stable. The authors divided the adopted list according to diseases the individual fungi produce and explained less known terms describing mostly non-european mycoses. Notes giving reasons for nomenclature changes supplement the list of names.
