In this work, we evaluated the antidermatophytic activities of three resorcinol derivatives that have a history of use in dermo-cosmetic applications to discover molecules with multiple dermatological activities (i.e., multi-target drugs), thereby reducing the cost and time necessary for new drug development. The antidermatophytic activities of the three skin lighteners were evaluated relative ...

The prevalence and the clinical relevance of dermatophytoses in HIV-infected patients are poorly documented, particularly for those caused by tinea incognito. Here, we report a case of widespread facial tinea incognito occurring in an Italian patient with advanced HIV infection, showing both skin and brain lesions. Second-line treatment with liposomal amphotericin B and cotrimoxazole, administe...

structures with typical arrangement on hyphae, chlamydospores, spirals, antler-shaped hyphae (chandeliers), nodular organs, pectinate organs and racquet hyphae [2,4]. In addition, some physiological characteristics based on nutritional requirements [4-8]such as vitamin deficiency can be used to identify some dermatophytes. Most dermatophyte colonies develop forms and pigmentation which can allo...
