520 3 In this book, we discuss the changing medical and public
profile of fungal infections in the period 1850-2000. We
consider four sets of diseases: ringworm and athlete's
foot (dermatophytosis); thrush or candidiasis (infection
with Candida albicans); endemic, geographically specific
infections in North America (coccidioidomycosis,
blastomycosis and histoplasmosis) and mycotoxins; and
aspergillosis (infection with Aspergillus fumigatus). We
discuss each disease in relation to developing medical
knowledge and practices, and to social changes associated
with 'modernity'. Thus, mass schooling provided ideal
conditions for the spread of ringworm of the scalp in
children, and the rise of college sports and improvement
of personal hygiene led to the spread of athlete's foot.
Antibiotics seemed to open the body to more serious
Candida infections, as did new methods to treat cancers
and the development of transplantation. Regional fungal
infections in North America came to the fore due to the
economic development of certain regions, where population
movement brought in non-immune groups who were vulnerable
to endemic mycoses. Fungal toxins or mycotoxins were
discovered as by-products of modern food storage and
distribution technologies. Lastly, the rapid development
and deployment of new medical technologies, such as
intensive care and immunosuppression in the last quarter
of the twentieth century, increased the incidence of
aspergillosis and other systemic mycoses.
