Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is asking for a term that describes any abnormal condition or disease caused specifically by a fungus.
Recall that 'Protozoiasis' refers to diseases caused by protozoa, which are single-celled eukaryotic organisms, not fungi.
Recognize that 'Viremia' means the presence of viruses in the bloodstream, so it relates to viral infections, not fungal diseases.
