Comprehensive Review of Tinea Capitis in Adults: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Clinical Presentations, and Management

Journal of Fungi
Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp and hair caused by dermatophyte molds, that most often affects children and may also affect adults. Previous estimates suggest that between 3% and 11% of all tinea capitis cases worldwide occur in adults ...

Comparison of in vitro activities of newer triazoles and classic antifungal agents against dermatophyte species isolated from Iranian University Hospitals: a multi-central study

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2023
Background Dermatophytes have the ability to invade the keratin layer of humans and cause infections. The aims of this study were the accurate identification of dermatophytes by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism method ...

NMR study of the galactomannans of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1997
Around 90% of chronic dermatophyte infections are caused by the fungi Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum. One of the causes of the chronic infection resides in the immunosuppressive effects of the cell-wall components of these organisms.

Drug Discovery Applications of Nitroso (Hetero)Arene Derivatives

ChemPlusChem, EarlyView.
Nitroso (hetero)aromatic compounds are bioactive molecules with antiviral, anticancer, neuroprotective, and antimicrobial properties. This review highlights their mechanisms of action—oxidative stress, DNA damage, and enzyme inhibition—alongside synthesis, structure–activity relationships, and toxicity challenges, offering insight into their ...

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.

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis

VIEW, EarlyView.
The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an

Molecular Characterisation and Phylogenetic Analysis of Dermatophytic Fungi Isolated from Tinea Capitis in Northwest Nigeria Using Sequence of the 28S rRNA

Microbiology Research, 2021
The detection and identification of fungal DNA from clinical samples is one of the fundamental approaches in biomedicine. The incidence, distribution, and control of dermatophytes has progress significantly and the use of phylogenetic species concepts ...

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 ...
