In recent years, the occurrence of clinical infections has increased dramatically. The considerable use of antifungal agents, there has been a remarkable increase in drug resistance among infections species [1]. The diseases most common caused by fungi are dermatomycoses and aspergillosis, where the dermatomycoses result from superficial fungal infections of the skin, hair, or nails, which coul...

To mask the disadvantages of sticky creams and their tendency to rub off, intelligent regimen needs be designed. Objectives: The present study aimed design, develop, characterize (0.5% w/v) film-forming spray for treatment superficial fungal infections nails, such Tenia Onychomycosis. M...

during the last two decades or so, the incidence of fungal infections has increased dramatically. deep- seated mycoses are creating serious problems for clinicians working with certain populations of patients, such as those with cancer, the immunocompromised, and physiologically compromised. a study of fungal isolated for identification of deep fungal infections, risk factors and etiologic agen...

AIMS To compare the efficacy of and tolerance to oral fluconazole and intraconazole in preventing fungal infection in neutropenic patients with haematological malignancies. PATIENTS 213 consecutive, afebrile adult patients treated with or without autologous stem cell transplantation for haematological malignancies. METHODS A randomised, double blind, single centre study. Patients were rando...

Candida albicans is an inhabitant of mucosal surfaces in healthy individuals but also the most common cause of fungal nosocomial blood stream infections, associated with high morbidity and mortality. As such life-threatening infections often disseminate from superficial mucosal infections we aimed to study the use of probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) in prevention of mucosal C. albican...

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...
