Clinical and epidemiological aspects of various forms of fungal infections caused by Trichophyton tonsurans.
In the years 1977-1996 103 cases of mycosis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans with lesions in a variety of locations were treated. T. tonsurans was most often cultured from the feet (61.2%), and toe nails (22.3%), although smaller quantities were also obtained from other locations. In 1990, an endemic focus of superficial ringworm of the hairless skin caused by T. tonsurans was observed in 23 vi...
متن کامل[Dermatophytic pseudomycetoma: report of a case caused by Trichophyton tonsurans].
A case of dermatophytic pseudomycetoma, in a patient with a history of recurrent lesions in the scalp, for over two years, is reported. Histopathological examination of the affected tissues revealed the mycelial aggregates or pseudogranules characteristic of the disease. Cultures of fresh tissues samples detected a fungus identified as Trichophyton tonsurans. Additional examinations failed to d...
متن کاملTinea faciei in a newborn due to Trichophyton tonsurans
We report here the first case of neonatal tinea faciei caused by Trichophyton tonsurans in mainland China. The mother of the infant had tinea corpris and tinea capitis while the father had tinea incongnito. The infections in the parents were mycologically confirmed to be due to Trichophyton tonsurans. Ttinea faciei in the infant was cured after two-week topical use of amorolfine cream. The moth...
متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis and Trichophyton tonsurans Infection in Synthetic Hair Implants
Synthetic hair implants are considered in alopecia when the patient requests an immediate result with minor surgery and with a poor donor area. However, the procedure has historically been marred by poor quality fiber and performance resulting in serious complications. Nevertheless, companies continue to market the procedure with the claim that previous problems have been sorted out. We report ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis strains by multilocus sequence analysis.
Genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis is limited by the low sequence variation in the genome, and no adequate method is available for analysis of the spread of chlamydial infections in the community. We have developed a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system based on five target regions and compared it with analysis of ompA, the single gene most extensively used for genotyping. Sequence determi...
