Systemic fungal infections are fungal infections that affect internal organs. The fungus lives in the environment, particularly in moist soil and in decomposing organic matter such as leaves and wood. Fungi enter the body via the paranasal sinuses, gut, lungs, or skin, and may spread to other organs. If these infections are not treated with appropriate therapy or if treatment is delayed, it may lead to medical emergencies. The symptoms of systemic fungal infection in people with normal immune function include cough, fever, or loss of appetite. It can also affect people who are immune compromised.
