The document discusses superficial mycoses, which are fungal infections of the skin and its structures like hair and nails. It notes that these infections exclude those that involve mucosal tissues or deeper soft tissues beyond the dermis. Several types of fungi that can cause superficial mycoses are mentioned, including dermatophytes that infect skin, hair, and nails, Candida species that do not infect hair, and Malassezia species that infect skin. The importance of sampling lesions for diagnostic purposes is also highlighted.
