[Fusarium and fusariosis]. / Fuzáriá a fuzáriózy.

The submitted review deals with the problem of hyalohyphomycoses caused by the genus Fusarium. Attention is drawn to the fact that members of this genus cannot be considered any longer in medical microbiology as mere saprophytes but that they are able to cause superficial, organ and disseminated infections. The number of patients infected with these fungi is increasing.
