Infections caused by fungi and protozoans

    Infections caused by fungi and protozoans

 

The unicellular or multicellular fungi are microorganisms that grow preferentially in environmental humidity conditions. Some species can infect the organism and lead to more or less severe injuries, causing the diseases commonly referred mycoses.

Furthermore, protozoa are unicellular microorganisms that usually develop over a cycle quite complex, since it comprises various stages and involving the various species of animals that are parasites. Some protozoa are able to penetrate the human body and cause more or less serious changes. The problems caused by protozoa are called protozoa and belong to the group of parasites.Over the first few pages of this chapter, we will address the internal mycoses, ie those affecting the tissues and internal organs. Then enumerated the protozoa to higher incidence and severity, including amebiasis, malaria, toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. 

The protozoa are a number of quite common problems and with incalculable social consequences. First, due to the fact that evidencing especially in tropical areas or economically disadvantaged subtropical, who do not have the necessary resources so that they perform their diagnosis and timely treatment because it is estimated that only severe malaria complications cause the death of approximately two and a half million people per year. Second, because it also affects the frequency with some immunocompromised persons, in which acquire a specific gravity. In fact, esophageal candidiasis and toxoplasmosis are among the most common and severe opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS treated improperly.
