What is the difference between a fungal and yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection: Fungi can be yeasts or molds. Some fungi have both yeast and mold phases of growth, and this will depend often upon whether they are in the human body or in nature or in culture in the laboratory.
