tinea pedis in children.tinea pedis is a superficial mycosis, unusual in children. epidemiological and clinical data regarding cases of tinea pedis observed in children over a period of 20 years are discussed and some explanation given for the conditions which predisposed children to the infection. clinical features are variable and similar to adults. bullous lesions are more frequently seen in children. most of the cases were seen in children over 10 years of age. males are more often affected with tinea pedis: this i ...19911795727
prevalence of superficial mycoses in the aosta valley region of italy from 1984 to 1989.this report represents the results of the culture tests for fungi carried out in the aosta valley region of italy from 1984 to 1989. the pathological material consisted of cutaneous scales, hair and nails. it was possible to identify 91.8% of the isolates: out of these, 36.1% were dermatophytes, 21% were aspergillus spp, 15.6% deuteromycetes, 15% yeasts and 4.1% members of the family mucoraceae. the resulting data indicate that microsporum canis was the most wide-spread species (73.7%) among the ...19911795730
[shifts in the species spectrum of mycoses in the netherlands from 1970-1990].a review is presented of yeast and mould infections occurring in humans in the netherlands. the occurrence of the dermatophytes trichophyton rubrum and t. mentagrophytes tends to increase, while microsporum canis and particularly epidermophyton floccosum have become less common. the yeast candida glabrata is particularly often involved in infections of the urinary tract. candida krusei, c. parapsilosis and c. tropicalis have become less significant. remarkable differences are found between the s ...19921557162
pigment formation by trichophyton rubrum: differentiation between t. rubrum and t. mentagrophytes on serum albumin agar (author's transl).on serum albumin agar (bovine albumin) with initial ph-values of 5.0-6.0, trichophyton rubrum showed a yellow pigmentation, and on the same medium with an initial ph-value of 7.0, a red pigmentation. strains of trichophyton mentagrophytes have never shown pigmentation until now, the scarce growth (submerged) of t. rubrum on serum albumin agar is associated with a pigment formation that may be used for diagnostic purposes. it could be read within 3-7 days. serum albumin agar with the initial ph-v ...197715390
clinico-microbiological study of dermatophytoses.in the present series, 80 cases of dermatophytoses were subjected to mycological examination including microscopy and culture the mycological findings were correlated with clinical presentation of the patients. the isolation rate was 62.5 percent. fungal culture was successful in 36.25 percent of cases, trichophyton rubrum being the commonest etiological agent accounting for 55.18 percent of cases.19911818854

antimicrobial contact activity of econazole sulfosalicylate.the aim of this investigation was to compare the contact action of econazole sulfosalicylate (e-ssa) on mycetes (candida albicans, cryptococcus neoformans, aspergillus fumigatus, trichophyton rubrum, t. cutaneum, pityrosporum sp.), gram-positive bacteria (staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus faecalis) and gram-negative bacteria (escherichia coli, citrobacter freundii) with that exerted by econazole nitrate (e-nit). the results show e-ssa activity greater than e-nit (in particular against mycetes ...19911875229
tinea cruris: diagnostic confusion due to isolation of candida albicans alone.the diagnostic importance of the isolation of candida albicans from a skin lesion is often uncertain. in a 68-year-old man from whose lesions only c. albicans was originally isolated trichophyton rubrum and epidermophyton floccosum were also isolated when the growth of the yeast was inhibited in a selective medium. the use of this selective medium, casamino acids erythritol albumin agar, ensures the proper interpretation of the significance of the presence of c. albicans in skin lesions.1976773524
