Mycoses are common in HIV/AIDS patients, vary from superficial mycoses to deep mycoses. Although most of the superficial mycoses are mild, deep mycoses are fatal. Specific mucocutaneous manifestations of fungal infection may provide important diagnostic clues for HIV infection and evaluate individual immune status. In this chapter, authors present a variety of fungal infection cases in HIV/AIDS patients, such as candidiasis, cryptococcosis, talaromycosis, histoplasmosis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea manuum, tinea pedis, and onychomycosis. The purpose is to review the manifestations of mycoses in HIV/AIDS patients with typical or atypical mucocutaneous lesions and with misdiagnosed cases, providing references for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of relevant diseases. |
