This paper raises a neglected issue in the study of ellipsis resolution. The existence of ellipsis under certain constructions is often disguised due to the structure that assigns the nominative marking to what is typically the object. This kind of ellipsis deserves attention in view of the fact that its referent is the agent of the sentence and that these constructions are observed in diverse ...

Participants: A total of 108 patients were enrolled, when the clinical signs and symptoms of tinea pedis were confirmed by a KOH-microscopy. The two groups were similar in patient characteristics (age, weight, gender, height). Main exclusion criteria were if the tinea pedis was the ‘moccasin’ or plantar type, if the tinea pedis was with concomitant onychomycosis or if any concomitant therapy wi...

Moccasin tinea pedis is a chronic dermatophyte infection of the foot that is recalcitrant to topical antifungal therapy. Furthermore, most patients with moccasin tinea pedis also have onychomycosis, thus adding to the recalcitrant nature of the infection. The topical antifungals used as sole therapy are generally ineffective because the scale on the plantar surface impedes or limits the absorpt...

BACKGROUND Dermatophytosis, and particularly the subtype tinea capitis, is common among African children; however, the risk factors associated with this condition are poorly understood. To describe the epidemiology of dermatophytosis in distinct eco-climatic zones, three cross-sectional surveys were conducted in public primary schools located in the Sahelian, Sudanian and Sudano-Guinean eco-cli...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cutaneous fungal infections are a major public health problem. The distribution of the dermatophytoses varies between countries and geographical areas. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, epidemiology, etiology, and clinical course of the dermatophytoses caused by anthropophilic fungi in Cadiz, Spain, over the past 12 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS The...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is important to follow annually the probable changes in distribution pattern of dermatophytosis and its etiological agents in different communities. In this study, we determined the prevalence of dermatophytosis and its causative agents in Damascus, Syria, between 2008 and 2016. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 4080 outpatients who visited the dermatological clinics ...

Fungal infections of the skin and nails are common global problems with attendant morbidity among affected individuals. Children are mostly affected due to predisposing factors such as overcrowding and low socioeconomic factors. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and the clinical patterns of superficial fungal infections among primary school children in Ile-Ife. A multistage ...

Tinea or dermatophytoses are of skin superficial and fungous infections affecting keratinized tissues such as hair, nail, and superficial layer of epidermis. This study aimed at evaluating some predisposing factors for tinea corporis, because elimination or treatment of them not only ceases spreading of the lesion but also prevents reinfection. In this descriptive cross-sectional study patients...

Background: Tinea capitis (TC), a fungal infection of the scalp, hair follicles and hair shafts, is common among the paediatric population especially under tropical conditions. The etiological factors vary between different regions of the world. Clinical presentation of tinea capitis varies widely from non-inflammatory to severe, painful inflammatory lesions. Aim: To look into the clinical mani...
