Skin disease associated with keratinized tissues in animal and human beings has been investigated. The essential oil of Eucalyptus pauciflora in vitro showed strong antifungal activity at 1.0 microl/ml against human pathogenic fungi, viz. Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum audouinii, M. canis, M. gypseum, M. nanum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. tonsurans and T. violaceum. The oi...

This study was conducted to clarify the prevalence of common skin diseases and their associated factors among military personnel in Korea.

A structured questionnaire that included questions about known skin diseases, demographic information, and questions for the Perceived Stress Index was completed for each participant....

Background: Dermatophytosis was a fungal infection caused by molds (dermatophytes). Dermatophytes are group of closely related filamentous fungi able to damage and utilize keratin found in the skin, hair, nails. Objective: To isolate species which cause resistant dermatophytosis, clinical types tinea, as well assess response different antifungal therapies.
 Patients Methods: Ninety-two pat...

Introduction: Dermatophytosis is colonization by a dermatophytic fungus o f the keratinized tissues like hair, nails and stratum corneum of the skin. Dermatophytos is producing a dermal infl ammatory response with intense itching and also of cosmetic importance. So the present study was concerned with isolation, identifi cation and clinicomycologial study of dermatophytes. Materials and Methods...

Cutaneous fungal infections are a major source of morbidity in HIV-infected patients, and their management poses special challenges. Superficial mycoses, such as tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, and onychomycosis, are no more common in HIV-infected patients than in the HIV-negative population but are of greater severity. Although they respond to topical and systemic antifungal agents,...

Background: Dermatophytosis is a superficial (skin, hair and nails) fungal infection caused by dermatophyte group fungi (Trichophyton, Epidermophyton Microsporum). Immunocompromised conditions cause infections to become more widespread require consideration of therapy.
