The authors present a survey of filamentous microscopic fungi causing human mycoses. The outline is based on an alphabetical list of genera and their classification into higher taxonomic categories, i.e. orders, classes and divisions. The name of a relevant mycosis is followed by enumeration of the individual species and localizations of diseases produced by a given agent. To facilitate orientation in the system of mycopathologically important agents, examples of classification of individual genera are presented in the text in a hierarchical arrangement of higher taxonomic categories.

        Key words: mycotic agents – filamentous fungi – localization of diseases.
