General Information. Fungal infections can affect anyone, and they can appear on several parts of the body. A jock with athlete’s foot, a baby with thrush, and a woman with a vaginal yeast infection are just a few examples. Fungal infections can be contagious. They can spread from one person to another. In some cases, you can also catch disease-causing fungi from infected animals or contaminated soil or surfaces. Dr. Liana Abramova and her staff specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections and will help you understand and manage the condition effectively.
