Comparison of DermaGenius and In-House qPCR Methods for Detection of Recalcitrant Dermatophyte Infections: A Practical Approach for Dermatologists and Mycologists. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Background Chronic and recalcitrant dermatophytosis has become increasingly problematic in dermatology practice, largely due to emerging antifungal resistance, affecting not only terbinafine but also azoles. Among the causative agents, Trichophyton indotineae has emerged as a key pathogen associated with treatment failure, extensive disease ...

Dermoscopic Features of Tinea Capitis in Korean Patients: Correlation With Clinical Subtypes, Age Groups and Causative Dermatophytes. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Background Tinea capitis (TC) presents with diverse clinical manifestations that may complicate diagnosis. Dermoscopy is a useful adjunctive tool, but data correlating dermoscopic findings with clinical and mycological characteristics in Korean patients remain limited. Objective To characterize dermoscopic features of TC in Korean patients and
