Topical antifungal agents are not absorbed when given orally. They act by direct contact on the fungus, this type of action requires the sim … trigo and tinea corporis are treated with topical agents such as azoles, terbinafine or tolnaftate. Tinea capitis responds to oral griseofulvine, however a topical antifungal must be added to eradicate contagious conidia. Whatever the localisation is, an other superficial site of infection must be looked for and a source of infection should be investigated and …

Dermatophytosis in Iran: a sharp increase in cases caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. indotineae.

Dermatophytosis is a common skin infection worldwide. In recent years, Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. indotineae has rapidly emerged as a … d infections and generalised dermatophytosis. It also accounted for 59% of tinea unguium and 37% of tinea capitis cases. No significant sex bias was observed and most patients were 20-49 years old. The data did not indicate recent introduction of the infection from outside Iran, supporting ongoing local transmission. SQLE sequencing of 410 isolates revealed res …

Molecular Epidemiology of Trichophyton tonsurans, the Causative Dermatophyte of the Tinea Gladiatorum Epidemic in Japan between 2011 and 2015.

Trichophyton tonsurans, a major pathogen causing tinea capitis and tinea corporis, has been isolated from contact sports-players in Japan. The molecular types of 208 strains isolated between 2011 and 2015 were determined to understand the contemporary Japanese epidemic. Of these, 142 were isolated from practitioners of judo, 28 from wrestlers, 7 from sumo wrestlers, and 31 from individuals with unknown backgrounds. Based on length polymorphisms of the non-transcribed spacer (NTS) region of the ribosomal RNA gene, these 208 strains were divided into 3 subtypes: NTS I (204; 98.1%), II (3; 1.4%),…

Общие условия развития кожи у детей: инфекция кожи.

Инфекции кожи являются одной из важных подкатегорий дерматологовых условий детства. К числу широко распространенных вирусных инфекций среди детей относятся бородавки, моллюски-контазиосум, болезнь ручных ног и яичников и герпес simpex. Хотя вирусные инфекции являются самоограничивающимися и часто лишь слегка симптомами, они могут вызывать тревогу, смущение и использование медицинских услуг. Для того чтобы отличать их от других кожных условий аналогичной морфологии, необходимо признать их общие и нетипичные представления. Импетиго, целлюлит и абсцесс составляют большинство детских бактериальных

Cat's Curse: A Case of Misdiagnosed Kerion.

Kerion is an inflammatory type of tinea capitis which can be mistaken for bacterial infection or folliculitis as both conditions display similar clinical features. It occurs most frequently in prepubescent children and rarely in adults. We report a 26-year-old woman who presented with multiple tender inflammed nodules on her scalp. Her condition was misdiagnosed as bacterial abscess and treated with multiple courses of antibiotics without improvement. Later, her condition was re-diagnosed as kerion based on clinical appearance, history of contact with infected animal and Wood's lamp examinatio…

Skin disorders in black children.

Recently, progress and developments have been made in six skin conditions relevant to black children. Infantile acropustulosis may either be idiopathic or may be a sequela of scabies in young infants. The approach to small- or medium-sized congenital melanocytic nevi in black children must be different because the risk for malignant transformation into melanoma is exceedingly small. Keloids and hypertrophic scars in children are effectively treated with silicone gel sheeting. Tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans remains to be a very common infection among black children. The newer sy…

Childhood skin rashes are frequently evaluated by primary care physicians and are often diagnosed by recognition of distinguishing features. … ction with a sandpaper-like rash and should be treated with antibiotics to prevent rheumatic fever. Tinea capitis requires treatment with systemic antifungals, whereas tinea corporis is usually treatable with topical agents.

A Case of Kerion Celsi due to Trichophyton rubrum Successfully Treated with Fosravuconazole.

A male in his seventies presented with multiple erythematous follicular papules on the back, followed by lesions in the occipital region and posterior neck. Fungal examination revealed kerion celsi caused by Trichophyton rubrum. The patient was treated with fosravuconazole 100 mg/day for 8 weeks, and the brush method was negative 1 month later. The oral antifungal medicines approved for treatment of tinea capitis in Japan are limited to itraconazole and terbinafine hydrochloride. However, itraconazole has many contraindicated drugs, and antifungal resistance has recently become a major concern…

Inflammatory masses on boy's scalp.

The fact that our 8-year-old patient's brother and sister also complained of similar papules helped us make the diagnosis.

Erythema nodosum induced by kerion celsi of the scalp.

A 5-year-old girl presented with a 2-week history of a sharply demarcated, inflammatory, granulomatous lesion on the right side of her scalp. Shortly afterward, painful, subcutaneous nodules developed on her shins and thighs. Trichophyton mentagrophytes was isolated from the scalp lesion and a diagnosis of erythema nodosum induced by kerion of the scalp was made. The patient was started on oral therapy with 18 mg/kg/day griseofulvin, associated with topical crystal violet. Her erythema nodosum regressed in 10 days, while the kerion healed 6 weeks later, leaving residual scarring alopecia. Eryt

Hair disorders.

Disorders of the hair are commonplace in the primary care practice. Among these disorders are male pattern baldness, Telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, Trichotillomania, and fungal infections involving the hair shaft. A review of the normal anatomy and life cycle of hair also is presented.

Carotid body tumor: diagnostic and therapeutic approach.

Carotid body tumor may be clinically suspected when the only clues are physiologic manifestations of carotid body dysfunction or when a palpable cervical mass is evident upon presentation. In the latter case, the physiologic signs of carotid body dysfunction are usually recognizable. We have presented the case of a patient who was completely disabled by a slowly enlarging carotid body tumor. An attempt at surgical excision of the tumor was unsuccessful because of its proximity and adhesion to vital neck structures. An endocardial pacemaker inserted to ameliorate the episodes of bradycardia and
