A biopsy from the lesion on the hand was consistent with features of localized granuloma annulare. The patient was reassured that the condition was self-limited. The lesion on her calf, however, grew larger and new nummular and annular plaques developed that ultimately involved her legs, arms, abdomen, and back. A new diagnosis was made of generalized granuloma annulare. During the next 21⁄2 ye...

Dermatophytosis is common in superficial fungal infection of keratinized tissues. Although common, the precise size of the problem defies measurement. To access the clinicoepidemiological profile of dermatophyte infection. To identify the species of fungus and to compare the clinical diagnosis by KOH smear and culture. Two hundred clinically suspected cases of dermatophytosis were subjected to ...

BACKGROUND Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum is a clinical variant of angiokeratoma that is typically associated with an enzyme deficiency in the metabolism of glycoprotein, most notably Fabry disease, resulting in many other systemic manifestations. OBSERVATIONS We report a case of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum that did not have an identifiable enzyme deficiency. A review of the literature r...

Out of 410 clinically diagnosed cases of superficial mycoses encountered during 1985 - 87, direct KOH mounts were positive in 250 (62.19%) cases and the cultures were positive in 123 (30.00%) cases. The organisms isolated included Trichophyton rubrum (36.58%). T. simii (32.52%), T.mentagrophytes (12.19%), C.tropicum (8.13%), Microsporum gypseum (6.50%), Epidermophyton floccossum (2.43%), T. vio...

Background and Purpose: Trichophyton quinckeanum, a known zoophilic dermatophyte responsible for favus form in rodents camels, is occasionally reported to cause human infections. Case Report: This study aimed report case of tinea corporis caused by T. quinckeanum that experienced annular erythematous pruritic plaque with abundant purulent secretions. In June 2021, 15-year-old girl an cup shape ...

Dearmatomycoses are very common infections caused mainly by dermatophytes. A total of 1186 patients ranging from 1-60 years of age were surveyed for dermatomycotic infections in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Specimens for mycological investigations were confirmed by microscopic examinations in 817 cases and the causative agents were isolated and cultured in 70 positive cases. The highest prevalence of ...

Tinea is a dermatophytid infection caused by fungus. Corporis type of glabrous dermatophytosis that occurs on skin except palms, soles, groins. A 24-year-old female reported having corporis for the last 2 months. complete case history was taken and basis individualization, graphite given.

Dermatophytosis is caused by a dermatophyte fungus that affects the stratum corneum and keratinized tissue. Dermatophyte fungus has been reported worldwide as the causative agent of dermatophytosis, but the etio-epidemiological aspects of these mycoses in the state of Pará remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe the etio-epidemiological profile of dermatophytosis diagnosed in ...

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...
