38 Dermatophytes are the most common agents of superficial mycoses in humans and 39 animals. The aim of the present investigation was to systematically identify the 40 extracellular, possibly secreted, proteins that are putative virulence factors and antigenic 41 molecules of dermatophytes. A complete gene expression profile of Arthroderma 42 benhamiae was obtained during infection of its natur...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and most common etiologies of scalp scaling in infants and prepubertal children and the specificity of head and neck lymphadenopathy for the diagnosis of tinea capitis associated with scalp scaling. DESIGN/METHODS A cross-sectional study of 300 children, 200 from an urban general pediatric practice and 100 from 2 urban pediatric dermatology practices, was...

Recently, numerous cases of dermatophytosis resistant to terbinafine were reported. These have been increasing in frequency, with no improvement even treatment using systemic therapies. Our objective was determine the antifungal activity efinaconazole compared fluconazole, itraconazole, and against dermatophyte, Candida, mold clinical isolates In vitro. Activity antifungals assessed minimum inh...

The aim of this study was detect the presence of dermatophyte fungi on wild felids from screening centers. Samples were taken from 30 animals, assembled in two groups: "free-ranging" and "transitory captivity". The dermatophytes (Trichophyton genus), isolated from two felids (6.6%), both of the group "free-ranging".

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy oral monotherapy (Terbinafine) as compared combination drugs (Terbinafine and fluconazole) in treatment dermatophyte infections. Methods: Patients clinically diagnosed, potassium hydroxide (KOH) confirmed infections (n=235), recruited per inclusion criteria randomized into Group A (Tab. Terbinafine 6 mg/kg body weight daily) B...

BACKGROUND Dermatophyte infections of the toenail have been difficult to treat, requiring long courses of therapy and having high recurrence rates. New oral antifungal agents with better outcomes and minimal adverse events are needed. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare two newer antifungal compounds, terbinafine and itraconazole, for efficacy and safety in toenail onychomycosi...
