Could a Fungal Infection Mimic a Norwood Classification of Baldness?

Does fungal infection if not treated mimic Male pattern baldness say (norwood 5)?. Could u explain types of infections or fungal infections in general a little better?? would we see hair loss in patches or one might start losing hair from the front due to infection to all the way back? if treated do these conditions reverse back to having a full head of hair??

Simply put, if you let the fungal infections go on for years, it might look like patterned hair loss to the inexperienced eye. For more on fungal infections, see Wikipedia – mycosis.
