BACKGROUND In recent years, skin diseases in wrestling have finally received the attention they deserve. Outbreaks of tinea corporis are often associated with sports involving extensive bodily contact; such sports include wrestling. Tinea corporis gladiatorum is primarily caused by Trichophyton tonsurans, infecting wrestlers at alarming rates. The management of skin infections in wrestlers and ...

Tinea infections are caused by dermatophytes and are classified by the involved site. The most common infections in prepubertal children are tinea corporis and tinea capitis, whereas adolescents and adults are more likely to develop tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and tinea unguium (onychomycosis). The clinical diagnosis can be unreliable because tinea infections have many mimics, which can manifest...

purpureum has not been isolated from cases of tinea corporis in the Province, but the reaction is described as a psoriasiform plaque, with no tendency to central clearing (Lewis & Hopper, 1948). T. purpureum is endemic in tropical zones. Similarly, T. violaceum has not been isolated during the period of this review from patients with tinea corporis. It produces small areas of ill-defined scalin...

Dermatophytes are Fungi which infect keratinized tissues, that is, skin epidermis, hair and nails. Trichophyton violaceum is an anthropophilic, cosmopolitan dermatophyte. It primarily causes tinea capitis and less commonly tinea corporis and tinea unguium. We present a report of two cases of tinea corporis due to T. violaceum in children. Infections due to T. violaceum are important because of ...

ABSTRACT:The present study determines the incidence of tinea infections and their dermatophytes in Gwalior (M.P.). Out of 83 samples with various infections 85.5 % were infected with dermatophytes. Among them, Tinea corporis was the highest, followed by tinea capitis. The total number of dermatophytes were 71, in which 10 species were identified. Trichophyton rubrum (42.3 %) was the most freque...

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...

Background: Superficial fungal infections of skin are very common in rural areas of Bangladesh. The prevalence and characteristics of superficial fungal infections (SFIs) vary with age, sex, climatic conditions, lifestyle, and population migration patterns. There is no study in Bangladesh to determine the prevalence and pattern of superficial fungal infection. This study was undertaken to deter...

We studied dermatophyte infections in patients attending the Dermatology Outpatients Clinic of S. Matteo hospital Pavia, Italy, during the period 2004-2006. A total of 100 samples were collected from 95 patients; 97 dermatophytes and 3 keratinophylic fungi were isolated. Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequent dermatophyte isolated (42.3%), followed by Microsporum canis (31%), T. mentagrophyt...

Dermatophyte infections are extremely frequent worldwide and their epidemiological features vary according to the geographical area and have changed in the last decades. We studied the spectrum of dermatophytoses by means of a retrospective analysis involving 6,133 patients referred to the Mycology Service of the Dermatology Clinic of Policlinico Hospital - University of Bari, Italy during the ...

به منظور بررسی ارزش روش ایمونوفلورسانس در تشخیص آزمایشگاهی سالک 110 نفر که دارای زخم های مشکوک به سالک بودند و برای آزمایش از نظر جسم لیشمان به دانشکده بهداشت و انستیتو تحقیقات بهداشتی معرفی شده بودند تحت برسی قار گرفتند. از بیماران گسترشهایی از زخم و نمونه خون از نوک انگشت تهیه می شد. در گسترش های تهیه شده با آزمایش میکروسکپی دقیق جستجوی جسم لیشمن و در پلاسمای جدا شده از نمونه خون با آزمایش فل...
