The Correct Answer is C.Dimorphic FungiDimorphic fungi exhibit two different forms:
- outside the body they grow as a mold, producing hyphae.
- inside the body they grow in a nonmycelial form.
Dimorphic fungi may cause systemic mycoses, usually localized in the lungs with characteristic lesions called granuloma.
There are three important pathogenic dimorphic fungi:
- Coccidioides immitis: causes coccidioidomycosis (lungs).
- Histoplasma capsulatum: causes histoplasmosis (lungs).
- Blastomyces dermatitidis: causes blastomycosis (skin).
