<prompt> Which of the following is false regarding dimorphic fungi -Occurs in two growth formsCan cause systemic infectionCryptococcus is an exampleCoccidioides is an example  <response>: Dimorphic fungi: They exist as molds hyphal form in the environment at ambient temperature 25degC and as yeasts in human tissues at body temperature 37degC. Examples include: Histoplasma capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides, Paracoccidioides,Penicillium marneffei and Sporothrix schenckii. Systemic mycoses are caused by fungi of soil, which are inherently virulent and cause disease in healthy humans. The systemic mycoses include coccidioidomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and cryptococcosis. Most fungi causing systemic infections are dimorphic fungi. Cryptococcus is a true yeast.
