How Does Mucor Compare to Other Fungal Infections in Histology?
Compared to other fungal infections like aspergillosis and candidiasis, Mucor infections present distinct histological features. Aspergillus species, for example, have septate hyphae with acute angle branching, while Candida typically presents as yeast cells and pseudohyphae. The broad, non-septate hyphae of Mucor with right-angle branching are key diagnostic features that differentiate it from other fungi.
