“…Data from west-central Brazil show a slight predominance of T. rubrum followed by T. mentagrophytes ; in these data, the majority of cases were lesions on the feet ( Costa et al , 1999 ). Finally, in the state of Paraná (south Brazil), the main agent causing onychomycosis and Tinea pedis is T. mentagrophytes ( Purim et al , 2009 ). Although data have been reported from other regions of the country, no studies from the north region of Brazil have commented on any aspects related to dermatophytosis.…”

Dermatophytosis is caused by a dermatophyte fungus that affects the stratum corneum and keratinized tissue. Dermatophyte fungus has been reported worldwide as the causative agent of dermatophytosis, but the etio-epidemiological aspects of these mycoses in the state of Pará remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe the etio-epidemiological profile of dermatophytosis diagnosed in patients at the Evandro Chagas Institute from May 2005 to June 2006. A total of 494 patients were admitted, and their samples were collected, submitted for direct microscopic examination using 20% KOH and cultured in Sabouraud and Mycosel medium. The identification was based in macro and microscopic characteristics. Direct examinations were positive in 13% (66/494) of the patients, and agent isolation by cultivation of the biological sample was successful in 4% (20/494), with a high prevalence of T. mentagrophytes (40%; 8/20). Dermatophytosis was more frequent in women (58%; 38/66). Fifty-two percent (21/38) of the cases were children with an average age of 8 years. The most frequent clinical presentation was Tinea corporis (55%, 36/66). For the cases in which the dermatophyte agent was not isolated, we discuss the factors that may be interfering with isolation. Tinea corporis occurred more frequently observed when T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum were the major etiologic agents.

“…Antidandruff formulations can not only relieve the flaking and itching symptoms of dandruff, but extend their effects to the skin as well. This kind of cosmetic formulation is often prescribed in Brazil and other countries for skin infections by Candida as an accessible and low-cost alternative to complement the conventional treatment (Chimelli et al, 2003, Purim et al, 2009). Therefore, it was of interest to investigate if the formulations could be effective against this yeast.…”

This study aimed to investigate the antifungal effectiveness of five different formulations against dandruff and ringworm dermatophytes. was also included in our assays. Fungal susceptibility tests were performed with planktonic cells and biofilms of reference strains. Microbiological and physicochemical quality parameters were assessed for all formulations. Our data indicated that the formulations were effective against the dermatophytes strains, and to our knowledge, the effectiveness of cosmetic formulations against fungal biofilms is shown for the first time. The formulations were considered effective against the explored dermatophytes and were considered safe given the adequate microbiological and physicochemical characteristics shown in the proposed assays.

“…Onychomycosis due to dermatophytes, yeasts, and non-dermatophyte molds comprises 50% of all cases of nail disease [1]. Known individual risk factors for its development are nail trauma, age, smoking, immunosuppression, obesity, psoriasis, and other causes of onychodystrophy, peripheral arterial disease, and diabetes mellitus [2,3,4,5,6]. Male patients have been reported to have more severe and chronic onychomycosis [7].…”

Terbinafine has proved to treat numerous fungal infections, including onychomycosis, successfully. Due to its liver metabolization and dependency on the cytochrome P450 enzyme complex, undesirable drug interaction are highly probable. Additionally to drug interactions, the treatment is long, rising the chances of the appearance of side effects and abandonment. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that terbinafine maintains a fungicidal effect within the nail up to 30 weeks after its last administration, which has aroused the possibility of a pulse therapy to reduce the side effects while treating onychomycosis. This study’s goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of three different oral terbinafine regimens in treating onychomycosis due to dermatophytes. Sixty-three patients with onychomycosis were sorted by convenience in three different groups. Patients from group 1 received the conventional terbinafine dose (250 mg per day for 3 months). Group 2 received a monthly week-long pulse-therapy dose (500 mg per day for 7 days a month, for 4 months) and group 3 received a 500 mg/day dose for 7 days every 3 months, totaling four treatments. There were no statistical differences regarding the effectiveness or side effects between the groups. Conclusion: A quarterly terbinafine pulse regimen can be a possible alternative for treating onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes.
