Predominantly saprophytic, more rarely parasitic fungi. These include the Aspergillus species, the mucoraceae and the geotrichosis. Their role in the development of infections is sometimes assessed differently. Frequently occurring in company of dermatophytes and yeasts. Rarer pathogens of nail mycoses and interdigital mycoses. Type I sensitization to molds can lead to rhinoconjunctival or bronchial symptoms.
