| two cases of tinea ciliaris with blepharitis due to microsporum audouinii and trichophyton verrucosum and review of the literature. | dermatophytes are rarely taken into account among the causes of blepharitis. in our report, we describe a 69-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman with chronic blepharitis for 10 years and 4 years respectively, in whom we examined the scales and pulled eyelashes on direct microscopy and isolated microsporum audouinii and trichophyton verrrucosum in the culture. we emphasise that dermatophytes may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of chronic blepharitis. in chronic, treatment resistance blephari ... | 2014 | 24724801 |
| the prevalence and pattern of superficial fungal infections among school children in ile-ife, south-western nigeria. | fungal infections of the skin and nails are common global problems with attendant morbidity among affected individuals. children are mostly affected due to predisposing factors such as overcrowding and low socioeconomic factors. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and the clinical patterns of superficial fungal infections among primary school children in ile-ife. a multistage sampling was conducted to select eight hundred pupils from ten primary schools in ile-ife. data on epid ... | 2014 | 25574161 |
| cat favus caused by microsporum incurvatum comb. nov.: the clinical and histopathological features and molecular phylogeny. | favus is a distinctive form of infection that is caused by exclusively dermatophytes. its clinical presentation is characterized by scutula, which are concave, thick fungal crusts. the best-known examples of human scalp favus are caused by trichophyton schoenleinii and those of mouse favus are caused by t. quinckeanum. however, other dermatophytes, such as t. violaceum, t. verrucosum, microsporum audouinii, m. gallinae, m. gypseum, and m. canis, have been reported sporadically to cause favic les ... | 2014 | 24625676 |

| high dermatophyte contamination levels in hairdressing salons of a west african suburban community. | tinea capitis is a dermatophyte infection of scalp is commonly spread by currently infected patients, asymptomatic carriers or by fomites, such as hairdressing tools. however, studies on the risk factors of tinea capitis remain scarce. the aim of this study was to evaluate the dermatophytes contamination level of the hairdressing tools to which hairdressing salon customers are exposed in sirakoro-méguétana, a suburb of bamako, the capital city of mali. a total of 41 hairdressing tools were sampl ... | 2015 | 25385435 |
| dermatophyte and non dermatophyte fungi in riyadh city, saudi arabia. | dermatophytes are a scientific label for a group of three genera (microsporum, epidermophyton and trichophyton) of fungus that causes skin disease in animals and humans. conventional methods for identification of these fungi are rapid and simple but are not accurate comparing to molecular methods. | 2015 | 26288566 |
| unusual strains of microsporum audouinii causing tinea in europe. | we comment on an unusual strain of microsporum (m.) audouinii. it was isolated from tinea corporis of a boy who lived in germany and most likely had acquired his infection during a stay on a farm with animal husbandry in poland. the strain showed features of m. canis (plenty of markedly rough-walled macroconidia, growth on rice, positive hair perforation) as well as of m. audouinii (white thallus, long macroconidia with central constriction) and in vitro it degraded hair of various mammals. beca ... | 2015 | 26252563 |
| [tropical and travel-related dermatomycoses: part 1: dermatophytoses]. | today, tropical and travel-related dermatomycoses must be increasingly anticipated to present in dermatological offices and clinics. skin infections due to dermatophytes or other fungi may occur after a journey in countries with a high prevalence for the respective causative fungal pathogen, e.g., tinea corporis due to trichophyton soudanense. otherwise, more frequently, single infections and even localized outbreaks due to "exotic" or "imported" pathogens of dermatophytoses occur. these epidemi ... | 2015 | 25868571 |
| [trichophyton violaceum : main cause of tinea capitis in children at mbarara regional referral hospital in uganda]. | tinea capitis is caused by anthropophilic, zoophilic or geophilic dermatophytes of the genera microsporum or trichophyton. | 2016 | 27341825 |
| pcr and real-time pcr approaches to the identification of arthroderma otae species microsporum canis and microsporum audouinii/microsporum ferrugineum. | the identification of species in the arthroderma otae complex is essential to determine the origin of infection and to eliminate the risk of transmission. microsporum canis is a zoophilic species, whereas microsporum audouinii and microsporum ferrugineum are anthropophilic species. in this paper, we propose alternative methods that permit species-specific identification of both anthropophilic and zoophilic members of the a. otae complex methods: two pcr assays were designed based on differences ... | 2016 | 27306227 |
| continuous increase of trichophyton tonsurans as a cause of tinea capitis in the urban area of paris, france: a 5-year-long study. | tinea capitis (tc) is a highly contagious fungal infection of the scalp due to dermatophytes in children. to obtain information on the epidemiology of tc in the urban area of paris, we analysed the microbiological results of 3090 patients seen with suspected tc from october 2010 to september 2015 at saint louis hospital, paris, france. a peak of tc was observed in 3-6 year-old children, followed by a progressive decrease until 16 years of age. of the 1311 positive cultures, 95% (1246) yielded on ... | 2016 | 27744309 |
