Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides is a variant of mycosis fungoides characterized by the presence of folliculotropic infiltrates, often with sparing of the epidermis, and preferential involvement of the head and neck. We report our experience with four cases of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides followed in our department in the last years. There are four patients (three men and one woman) aged ...

BACKGROUND Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's Sarcoma - associated herpesvirus (KSHV) was first identified and detected in 1994 in patients with Kaposi's Sarcoma. Recently, a strong association has been shown between HHV-8 and large-plaque parapsoriasis and mycosis fungoides(MF). This association has been attributed to either recent infection or reactivation of HHV-8 in patient...

Background. Allergic fungal airway diseases, such as asthma and allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM), are often difficult to manage with medical treatment alone; therefore, environmental exposure should be accurately evaluated minimized. In the present study, we established a method evaluate eliminate contamination in household air conditioners (ACs). Methods. fall of 2020, an survey living...

Previous cytogenetic studies of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) were based on limited numbers of patients and seldom showed consistent nonrandom chromosomal abnormalities. In this study, 54 tumor DNA samples from patients with CTCL were analyzed for loss of heterozygosity on 10q. Allelic loss was identified in 10 samples, all of which were from the 44 patients with mycosis fungoides (1...

BACKGROUND Due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations and imaging features, the diagnosis of pulmonary mycosis is difficult. This study aimed to investigate the pathogens, clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnosis and management of pulmonary mycosis. METHODS Data on 68 patients diagnosed as pulmonary mycosis in Xiang Ya hospital from January 2001 to December 2010 were coll...

Chimeric (murine/human) anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody was infused into seven patients with mycosis fungoides. Successive patients received doses of 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg of antibody twice a week for 3 consecutive weeks. All patients had some clinical improvement, but responses were of relatively short duration. Serum levels of chimeric antibody varied as a function of dose. At the 80-mg dose lev...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Detection of agents responsible for cutaneous mycosis may be effective in the prevention of fungal infections from environmental and animal sources. With this background in mind, in this study, we aimed to identify the distribution of cutaneous mycotic infections in patients referred to Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad, Iran during 2000- 2011. MATERIALS AND METHODS In tota...

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is a variant of (MF) noted in the World Health Organization — European Research and Treatment Cancer (WHO/EORTC) update 2018. FMF characterized as subtype with worse prognosis than classic MF. The situation changed recently when authorities proposed dividing into two prognostically different subtypes: indolent aggressive. Indolent allows 92% patients to s...
