How does the ringworm affect the respiratory sysetm?

Ringworm, a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes, primarily affects the skin, hair, and nails, rather than the respiratory system. However, in rare cases, if spores are inhaled, they can lead to respiratory issues, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. Generally, the infection does not directly impact respiratory function or health. Treatment focuses on topical or systemic antifungal medications to eliminate the infection.
