Additional information

  1. Hyphae are filamentous structures seen in moulds. Pseudohyphae are due to budding and cells elongating and sticking to each other without falling. Hyphae may be septate or aseptate (pics)
  2. Aspergillus and Mucor produce mycelia. Mycelia are a mass of hyphae. Aspergillus has acutely angled branching hyphae while Mucor has wide angled hyphae.
  3. Box to diff seb dermatitis from tinea capitis - hair loss or broken hair are seen only in tinea capitis.
