Dermatomycosis Caused by Non‐Dermatophyte Agents; Diagnosis Based on Molecular Identification [PDF]
This study greatly enhances the growing evidence highlighting the role of non‐dermatophyte fungi in causing dermatomycoses. The variation in patient demographics, clinical signs, and fungal causes demonstrates the complexity of these infections. More research is needed to understand how predisposing factors, environmental exposures and the disease ...

Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Cutaneous Fungal Infections [PDF]
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are an important source of morbidity and mortality that can manifest as superficial or invasive diseases. Diagnostic techniques for human fungal pathogens remain problematic, and multi‐drug resistance is emerging. This review addresses the potential emergence of new fungal pathogens in changing environments and reported ...
