Tinea versicolor is caused by Malassezia furfur and presents as hypo or hyper-pigmented coalescing scaly macules on the trunk and upper arms. Sites of predilection are the sternal region and the sides of the chest, the abdomen, back, pubis, neck, and intertriginous areas. We report a case of tinea versicolor with a reticulated pattern on acral sites.  

Hemiparesis is a neurological deficit characterized by partial loss of muscle strength in one half the body. It has been reported that skin on hemiparetic side may differ from normal body region for some reasons, therefore diseases progress differently, and be seen more frequently or less frequently. However, there no information literature regarding course tinea versicolor lesions these patien...

BACKGROUND Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CARP), also known as Gougerot-Carteaud syndrome, is a rare disorder. It usually presents as hyperkeratotic brown papules that coalesce into plaques with a reticulated periphery on the central trunk of young adults. Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is most often clinically confused with tinea versicolor and usually does not respond to ...

The social wasps are predators of many insect species and the study of their preys can reveal the potential of these natural enemies in biological control programs. A total of 240h of collections of preys in 32 nests of Polistes versicolor (Olivier) was carried on in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, from March 2000 to February 2001. The preys captured by P. versicolor were mainly those...

Tinea capitis, tinea corporis, and pityriasis versicolor are common superficial fungal infections in the pediatric population. • Tinea capitis is the most common dermatophyte infection worldwide. In North America, the cause is almost exclusively T tonsurans. Diagnosis of tinea capitis usually can be made by clinical features alone, especially when occipital or postauricular lymphadenopathy is p...

Basidiocarps of Trametes versicolor with an epiphytic flora (including Trebouxia sp.) collected from north-central Rhode Island were incubated in an atmosphere of C labeled CO2 for 6 hours. Using autoradiography, the location of the fixed CO2 was determined at 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 96h, and 192h. The fixed C was recorded in the epiphytic algae after 6h, and at all subsequent times. After 192h the ...

ficial fungal infection considered in clinical differential diagnosis of leprosy. Studies have reported a higher incidence of Pityriasis versicolor in leprosy patients when compared to the general population (), but there are no reports of co-localization of these two infections. We describe a 24-year-old man with P. versicolor lesions localized to the plaque of borderline tuberculoid (BT) lepr...

Abstract Chinese medicine herbal extracts are ideal candidates to replace toxic industrial wood preservatives thanks their antifungal and nontoxic properties. To investigate the activity of medicines, in this study, Trametes versicolor fungi were selected as test strains evaluate properties Fructus Cnidii, Forsythiae, Radix Stemonae. The results show that Cnidii has a strong inhibitory effect a...
