Abstract

Several mycotic diseases are associated with occupational exposure to fungal agents. Among them, respiratory mycotic diseases such as histoplasmosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, and blastomycosis arise as a result of the exposure of workers to the fungal agents, mostly in the form of particles or dust. However, there is a high proportion of cases of mycoses that do not report any occupational exposure throughout their working life. In this chapter, examples of several mycotic diseases, including cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, and endemic sporotrichosis, acquired from nonoccupational exposure are the focus, all of which are associated with domestic and environmental exposure.
