B48.7: Opportunistic mycoses
You have been infected by certain fungi. The fungi have damaged one or more of your organs.
The fungi are found in the ground, for example, and they are usually harmless. But in your case the fungi have caused illness because your defense system is weak. Certain illnesses or medicines, for example, weaken the defense system. Radiation, too, weakens the defense system.
