In vitro Evaluation of Photodynamic Effects Against Biofilms of Dermatophytes Involved in Onychomycosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Dermatophytes are the most common cause of onychomycosis, counting for 90% fungal nail infection. Although dermatophyte pathogens are normally susceptible to antifungal agents, onychomycosis often results in refractory chronic disease, and the formation ...

Unexpected Perseverance in Tinea Corporis – Special Mutations Found in Trichophyton indotineae Dermatomycosis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We hereby present the case of a patient with tinea incognita, who had received treatment with glucocorticosteroids and antibiotics for several months. Further diagnostic testing identified Trichophyton indotineae as the pathogen causing tinea corporis and cruris. The Erg1 gene encoding squalene epoxidase showed wild‐type information; therefore,

A clarion call for preventing taxonomical errors of dermatophytes using the example of the novel Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VIII uniformly isolated in the Indian epidemic of superficial dermatophytosis

Mycoses (Berlin), 2018
An alarming pan Indian increase in the incidence of superficial dermatophytosis has been noticed over the past 5‐6 years. Recent studies have demonstrated emerging predominance of Trichophyton (T.) mentagrophytes as the causative organism in such cases ...

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.

Emerging Terbinafine Resistant Trichophyton Dermatophytosis, Testing Options and Alternative Treatments: A Systematic Review

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection of the skin, most often caused by dermatophytes from the Trichophyton genus. Terbinafine, which inhibits squalene epoxidase (SQLE), is widely used as first line treatment. However, resistance to terbinafine is increasing globally, including recent reports in Australia, with origins ...

Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection in domestic pet cats in Australia and New Zealand: Guidelines for diagnosis, prevention and management

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Progressive feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection dramatically shortens the lives of infected cats, causing acquired immunodeficiency, aplastic anaemia, lymphoma, leukaemia and other myeloproliferative diseases. The potential impact of regressive FeLV infection on the development of disease remains largely unknown, although there is evidence it ...
