title: [Mycoses in adolescent patients].
abstract: Mycoses affect people of all ages world wide. Furthermore, different fungi can produce the same clinical signs and symptoms, equally similar fungi can produce many different clinical pictures. Despite of this, particular fungal infections are found more common in people of certain age groups than in others. For example, candidosis is seen frequently in babies whereas fungal infections of the feet rarely occur in children. However, there is little difference in the fungi affecting adolescents and adults. Then again, elderly people are more vulnerable to candidal infections. Besides this, there is a current increase in fungal infections in immunosuppressed patients of any age.
