Fungal infection is a disease in which fungi attack the tissue and cause infection. Fungi are commonly present in nature but do not cause infections normally. However, if the person has a weak immune system, certain types of fungi may infect them. Cryptococcal meningitis is a fungal infection of tissues covering the spinal cord (meninges) and brain. The symptoms include headache, hallucinations, fever, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, nausea and vomiting. Fungal infections in the lungs may be more serious and life-threatening and often cause symptoms similar to tuberculosis or bacterial pneumonia.
