Human Cutaneous Infections Caused by Plant Fungi (Phytonosis): A Scoping Review
Year: 2026
Type: study-registration
Abstract: Plant associated and plant-pathogenic fungi are often ubiquitous environmental organisms, some of which are capable of causing human diseases, ranging from life-threatening systemic mycoses to localized cutaneous and subcutaneous infections. We reviewed published case reports of cutaneous or subcutaneous infections caused by fungi traditionally regarded as plant pathogens, with an emphasis on epidemiology, risk factors, typical clinical presentation and treatments outcomes.
