Allergy and Dermatophytes [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 2005
SUMMARYTinea pedis (athlete's foot) and onychomycosis (infection of the toenails) caused by the dermatophyte fungusTrichophytonare highly prevalent in adults. SeveralTrichophytonallergens have been identified based on elicitation of immunoglobulin E antibody-mediated immediate-hypersensitivity (IH) responses.
