Question

Which fungal form is seen in systemic dimorphic fungi at body temperature is yeast true or false?

Answer 1

True. In systemic dimorphic fungi, the form that is typically seen at body temperature (37 degrees Celsius) is the yeast form. These fungi usually exist as molds in environmental conditions (lower temperatures) and switch to the yeast form when they enter the warmer environment of the human body. Examples of systemic dimorphic fungi include Histoplasma capsulatum, Coccidioides immitis, and Blastomyces dermatitidis.
