12/120. Case report. Disseminated tinea of the verrucous type due to epidermophyton floccosum.A case is presented of an 8-year-old boy suffering from disseminated verrucous lesions with some purulent drainage on his right foot, shank, thigh, scrotum, penis, perianal area and abdomen. epidermophyton floccosum was isolated from these lesions. The patient was treated with oral ketoconazole for 4 months and the lesions resolved completely. There was no evidence of relapse during a 12-month follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = tinea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
13/120. case reports. Six cases of infection due to trichophyton verrucosum.Dermatophyte infections due to Trichopkyton verrucosum are not frequent in europe. Six cases observed in italy in the period 1995-99 are reported. Two were cases of tinea barbae, two of tinea corporis and two of tinea capitis, one of which had been preceded by tinea faciei. In three cases the source of contagion was horses, in two it was cattle and in one case it was another person. The two cases of tinea barbae were initially interpreted and treated as bacterial infections, a diagnostic error reported with increasing frequency in the literature regarding dermatophytosis due to T. verrucosum.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = tinea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
14/120. Case report. Tinea corporis due to microsporum canis in a professional cyclist.We report the case of a 20-year-old man, a professional cyclist, with multiple scaling plaques on his limbs that had been present for 40 days. Our case of tinea corporis presented some peculiarities related to the aetiological agent microsporum canis and also its mode of transmission.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tinea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
15/120. Tinea incognito caused by trichophyton mentagrophytes -- a case report.A case of widespread tinea due to trichophyton mentagrophytes is described. A healthy 75-year-old woman presented with 134 typical tinea corporis and faciei lesions previously treated with topical steroids. The diagnosis was based on direct mycologic examination and culture. The treatment with oral administration of terbinafine for four weeks and topical application of clotrimazole resulted in complete clinical resolution of the lesions- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = tinea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
16/120. Preseptal cellulitis caused by trichophyton (ringworm).A 10-year-old boy with a past medical history significant for chicken pox at 7 years of age was referred to our eye center by an outside ophthalmologist for a 15-day history of worsening right-sided preseptal cellulitis. The patient reported photophobia, pruritus, and pain in the eyelid region. There appeared to be vesicular lesions on the eyelids. Empiric therapy with oral antibacterial and antiviral medications failed to resolve the preseptal cellulitis. Lid cultures revealed coagulase negative staphylococcus, Streptococcal viridans, and a trichophyton species of fungus. The infection was successfully treated with two courses of oral itraconazole. This is the first case of preseptal cellulitis caused by this dermatophyte that we could find in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.30554679623573keywords = ringworm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
17/120. Tinea barbae due to trichophyton verrucosum.A 25 year-old male, a dairy farmer, had noticed an annular scaly erythema on the left cheek since 3 weeks, and visited a dermatological clinic for the eruption. diagnosis of tinea faciei was made and he was treated with oral anti-histamine medicine and by topical application of anti-fungal ointment. However, the eruption worsened and enlarged so that he visited the department of dermatology of Kumiai Hospital on October 19, 1997. He was in good general health. physical examination disclosed papules and pustules with swelling and erythema on the chin and cheeks. The results of routine laboratory investigations were within normal limits except for white blood cell (9,800/mm(3)) and C reactive protein (2 ). A small white-yellowish colony was grown on brain heart infusion agar culture of the biopsied specimen of the lower jaw. Histopathological features showed epidermal hyperplasia with elongation of rate ridges and granulomatous changes around hair follicles in the dermis with many mononuclear cells and giant cells, where many positive spores and fine filamentous structures with PAS and Grocott stains were seen. Based on clinical, histopathological and mycological findings, a diagnosis of trichophyton verrucosum was made. The patient was treated with oral itraconazole (100 mg/day) for two months. There was a good clinical response and no recurrence during three years and six months.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tinea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
18/120. Case report. First report on human ringworm caused by Arthroderma benhamiae in japan transmitted from a rabbit.Two human cases of tinea corporis due to Arthroderma benhamiae (teleomorph of trichophyton mentagrophytes) were described. They acquired the infection from their cross-bred rabbit. The three clinical isolates from a human couple and a pet rabbit had been identified as A. benhamiae by chitin synthase 1 (CHS1) gene analysis as well as by mating experiments. There was no previous isolate of A. benhamiae from humans in japan, although we had reported the first isolate of A. benhamiae from a rabbit in 1998. Therefore, this is the first report on human ringworm cases caused by A. benhamiae in japan. It is anticipated that the human and animal cases of A. benhamiae infection could rise in number.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3819334952947keywords = tinea, ringworm (Clic here for more details about this article) |

20/120. A Japanese case of tinea corporis caused by Arthroderma benhamiae.We report a case of tinea corporis in japan caused by Arthroderma benhamiae. A 53-year-old female scientist, who had been working on dermatophytes in a laboratory, noticed pruritic erythema on the outer corner of her left lower eyelid. She used a steroid ointment for three days, but the lesion continued to expand. When she visited our clinic, the erythema was 15 mm in diameter and clearly demarcated with a slightly depressed center. A scale from the periphery of the erythema was positive with direct KOH examination, and T mentagrophytes was isolated from the lesion. The erythema was successfully treated with topical application of butenafine hydrochloride. The isolate was mated with a ( ) strain of the Americano-European race of A. benhamiae. Using the most sensitive molecular typing method, restriction exzyme analysis of the non-transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal dna, the restriction profile of the isolate was the same as that of strains used in her laboratory but different from those of any Japanese isolates associated with pet animals. The results suggest that the patient became infected during her experiment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = tinea (Clic here for more details about this article) |
