Résumé

Clinically significant fungal infections of the upper extremity are uncommon but increasing They are classified based on anatomic location and epidemiology. The anatomic categories that affect the hand include cutaneous, subcutaneous, and deep. Cutaneous infections are caused by organisms that metabolize keratin and can cause serious morbidity but are rarely fatal. Subcutaneous infections are similar to the cutaneous infections and are produced by low virulence organisms. Cutaneous and subcutaneous infections are most common and can be treated by primary care physicians and dermatologists. Deep infections are less common but can be fatal. Epidemiologic classifications include endemic and opportunistic infections.
