Diagnostic capacity for cutaneous fungal diseases in the African continent

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 1131-1141, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Cutaneous fungal infections are very common, especially in poorer communities and with intercurrent HIV infection. Determining the fungal pathogen in skin‐related fungal neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) determines optimal therapy. We undertook a country survey across many African countries to determine the diagnostic capacity for ...
