However, its therapeutic potential has not been thoroughly investigated yet. current study aimed to evaluate the in-vivo properties of skin mucus this fish. was collected fleshly and topical gel with carbopol 934 formulated antibacterial activity on infected rats. Sprague Dawley rats were used divided into 4 groups ne...

The pattern of invasion of human hair in vitro by the dermatophyte Microsporum gypseum was studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Mycelia that invaded the hair cortex through the edge of cuticles showed a flattened "frond" growth in contrast to the filamentous form seen on ordinary laboratory media. The frond cells were characterized by the presence of vesicles formed by inva...

A method of treatment of tinea capitis is presented in a case of a 10-year-old boy who was referred to the pediatric surgical unit for the treatment of a skin lesion on the scalp, which had persisted for more than two months. The initial dermatologic examination led to the clinical diagnosis of inflammation of the scalp, while mycological analysis revealed an uncommon dermatophyte agent, Micros...

The recurrent evolutionary emergence of asexual lineages within sexual zoo- and anthropophilic dermatophyte species living in animal-frequented soil is likely to be triggered by changes in ecological niche, i.e., shifts of host animal. Subsequent adaptation to the new host species is noted. Sometimes geographic isolation or intrinsic host factors like human race may also play a role in speciati...

A survey of soil from several sites in Franklin and surrounding counties in central Ohio for human-pathogenic fungi was undertaken. The samples were analyzed for the presence of dermatophytes and keratinophytic fungi by the hair-bait technique, for . systemic mycotic agents by a direct spraying method, and for nocardiae by the paraffinbait technique. The hair-bait technique revealed Trichophyto...
