Abstract: Phaeohyphomycosis and hyalohyphomycosis are artificial categories created to avoid the proliferation of new disease names each time a filamentous septate fungus is implicated in human disease. Phaeohyphomycosis (phaeo, black in Greek; hypho, hyphae) comprises mycotic diseases caused by moulds that form septate hyphae with darkly pigmented cell walls in tissue or culture. Hyalohyphomycosis comprises mycotic diseases caused by moulds whose basic tissue/culture form is in septate hyphae with colorless walls and distinctive hyphal shapes.
