Clinical study of Dermatophyte Test Strip, an immunochromatographic method, to detect tinea unguium dermatophytes.
The Dermatophyte Test Strip visualizes mycotic antigens by immunochromatography. It allows easy and fast detection of dermatophytes. A multicenter, single-arm, comparative clinical study was designed to evaluate the capacity of Dermatophyte Test Strip to detect dermatophytes in suspected tinea unguium specimens in comparison with direct microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Signed con...
متن کاملDermatophyte test medium culture for evaluating toenail infections in patients with diabetes.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of the in-office dermatophyte test medium (DTM) culture when used to confirm the diagnosis of onychomycosis in diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Nail samples from 184 diabetic patients who exhibited symptoms consistent with toenail onychomycosis were screened for dermatophyte fungal infection using DTM, potassium hydroxide evaluation, and cen...
متن کاملProduction of an anti-dermatophyte monoclonal antibody and its application: immunochromatographic detection of dermatophytes
Tinea refers to superficial infection with one of three fungal genera-Microsporum, Epidermophyton, or Trichophyton-that are collectively known as dermatophytes. These infections are among the most common diseases worldwide and cause chronic morbidity. They are usually diagnosed by direct microscopy and fungal culture, which are burdensome to perform in the clinical setting. To supplement conven...
متن کاملDermatophytes in a swimming pool facility: difference in dermatophyte load in men's and women's dressing rooms.
Sir, The frequent dermatophyte infections of swimmer’s feet are most likely related to increased exposure to dermatophytes and maceration of skin (1). Fungal particles are shed from infected tissues and found on the floors of shared bathing facilities (2–5). Two studies have revealed a higher level of contamination in men’s dressing rooms than in women’s (2, 4), and a higher rate of tinea pedis...
متن کاملDermatophyte isolation media: quantitative appraisal using skin scales infected with Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum.
Various dermatophyte isolation media were quantitatively appraised by colony counts for their ability to support growth when suspensions of trypsin-treated infected-skin scales were used as inocula. Evaluation included guinea pig skin scales infected with a granular Trichophyton mentagrophyton mentagrophytes, and one trial was conducted using human skin scales infected with Trichophyton rubrum....
