Dermatophyte resistance – on the rise

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2023
AbstractDermatophytes are group of filamentous fungi which have adapted to living on the skin of humans and other animals. In the last decade, reports have emerged from Asia of new dermatophyte strains showing resistance to the commonly used antifungal agent terbinafine and others.

The Underemphasized Epidemiology of Non- Dermatophytes in Tinea Capitis: A Study from Tertiary Care Hospital, Karachi

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Background: Tinea capitis (TC) is a fungal infection that victimizes every age group. The fundamental culprits of TC are dermatophytes and the role of non-dermatophytes (NDM) in pathogenesis is overshadowed.

Comparative Genome Analysis of Trichophyton rubrum and Related Dermatophytes Reveals Candidate Genes Involved in Infection

mBio, 2012
The major cause of athlete’s foot is Trichophyton rubrum, a dermatophyte or fungal pathogen of human skin. To facilitate molecular analyses of the dermatophytes, we sequenced T.

The Rare Presentation of Deep Dermatophytosis‐Trichophyton in an Immunosuppressed Patient

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dermatophytes typically cause superficial skin infections characterized by an active border. However, they can present atypically invading deeper in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of a 72‐year‐old woman with bullous pemphigoid who had received oral prednisolone for 3 months and developed umbilicated papules.
