Our Mission

Our goal is to provide a hub for mycology education and resources, whether it’s tools for clinic use, certified education, patient and caregiver educational materials, or patient resources.

Don’t dish on the dermatophytes! Potentially sexually-transmitted, resistant ringworm draws attention to an emerging infection.

Cutaneous fungal infections are often trivialized, bringing forth images of athlete’s foot from the high-school locker room. However, experts in the mycology and dermatology community have been tracking the emergence of resistant forms of dermatophytes—the organisms responsible for many cases of ringworm. Now, with the reporting of the first case of a potentially sexually-transmitted resistant dermatophyte infection in the United States, people are taking notice. Want to learn more? Check out our resources as well as guidance from the AAD and CDC on this concerning infection.

Now Available! ISHAM Clinical Mycology Course

The course consists of 12 cases and addresses differential diagnosis, selection of therapeutics, pharmacokinetic considerations, and management of treatment failure for each pathogen. At the end of the course, there is a final examination. Participants who pass the final course exam will receive a certificate from ISHAM recognizing their participation in the course.
