M01.6: Arthritis in mycoses

Arthritis in mycoses is a medical condition that involves inflammation of one or more joints, resulting from a fungal infection known as mycoses. The mycoses fungi enter the body through inhalation or a break in the skin, traveling through the bloodstream to various organs, including the joints. Symptoms commonly include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Over time, the severity of these symptoms can escalate and lead to chronic joint problems. This type of arthritis can affect any joint in the body, but it is most commonly reported in the knees, hips, and hands. It's important to address this condition early as it can progressively damage the joint and cause permanent disability if left untreated. The condition's progression will vary based on the type and severity of the fungal infection, and the individual's general health.
