background: in the present study, a pcr-rflp based molecular technique was designed to rapid identification of der­matophytes in clinical specimens. skin scrapings obtained from human cases suspected to dermatophytosis were studied in or­der to identify involved etiological fungi. methods: in this experimental study, the specimens (skin scrapings) of patients referred to mycology department of ...

objective: dermatophytosis is one of the most common pandemic fungal infections that is a major health problem in cities and villages. this study aims to evaluate pcr sensitivity and accuracy in the detection of nail dermatophytosis compared to conventional direct and culture detection methods, and performs an assessment of trichophyton rubrum in patients suspected of having nail dermatophytosi...

©2000 Revista Iberoamericana de Micología Apdo. 699, E-48080 Bilbao (Spain) The management of dermatophytosis begins with topical agents. These agents should penetrate the skin and remain there in order to suppress the fungus. In the last 50 years numerous drugs have been introduced for the treatment of superficial infections. The choice of treatment is determined by the site and extent of the ...

Superficial fungal infections are caused by dermatophytes plus candida and pityrosporum yeasts. Dermatophytosis is usually classified clinically according to the site of involvement: tinea capitis (scalp), T. corporis (body), T. cruris (groin), T. pedis (feet) and T. unguium (nails). One-half of all the cases of T. capitis and T. corporis are caused by zoophilic fungi, the rest due to anthropop...

Relevance. A number of methods are used to diagnose dermatophytosis in the practice doctors, but their effectiveness varies. The aim study was compare different clinical and laboratory diagnosis dermatophytosis. Methods. 54 hair samples taken from small pets were examined for presence dermatophytes. Diagnostics carried out using a Wood lamp, direct microscopy, fluorescent microscopy with calcof...

The aim of this study was to investigate the usability henna plant (Lawsonia inermis Linn) in treatment dermatophytosis lesions (Trichophypton verrucosum) cattle. animal material trial consisted 50 holstein calves between ages 4 and 6 months, who were found have a lesion on their face neck clinical examination. experiment organized three-group repeated measurement plan. I. Group: Trichlorfon (N...

The effects of different solvents and extraction techniques upon the phytochemical profile and anti-Trichophyton activity of extracts from Piper aduncum leaves were evaluated. Extract done by maceration method with ethanol has higher content of sesquiterpenes and antifungal activity. This extract may be useful as an alternative treatment for dermatophytosis.

Mycosis is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and frequent exposition to an infectious source could enhance the development of dermatophytic infections. A case of disseminated dermatophytosis by Microsporum gypseum is reported in a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patient.

Tinea is a dermatophytid infection caused by fungus. Corporis type of glabrous dermatophytosis that occurs on skin except palms, soles, groins. A 24-year-old female reported having corporis for the last 2 months. complete case history was taken and basis individualization, graphite given.
