Mycology is a branch of microbiology, which deals with fungi that may affect the plants, animals, and humans. Fungi are eukaryotic, Gram positive, heterophilic, non-acid fast, saprobe and versatile group of living organisms, which are widely prevalent in our environment, and are isolated from soil, air, water, avian droppings, grains, fruits, vegetables, bagasse, woods, litter, and sewage etc.. [1]. Fungal infections occur in both sexes, in all age groups, in all seasons, in rural and urban settings, in all climatic zones, and in every strata of society. Some of the mycotic diseases, such as aspergillosis, candidosis, cryptococcosis, and zygomycosis can cause serious nosocomial outbreaks in newborn children, and immunocompromised patients [1].
