“…Numerous host factors are increasing the susceptibility to fungal infection, such as comorbidities (obesity, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppressive disorders, poor circulation) [12], socioeconomic background, lifestyle changing, poor hygiene (sweaty clothing and bedding), poverty, and occupational status [5,11,12,31]. Even diet has been suggested as a factor that contributed to adult kerion associated with onychomycosis in vegetarians individual [32].…”

While typically exhibiting characteristic features, fungal infections can sometimes present in an unusual context, having improbable localization (eyelid, face, joint), mimicking other skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or mycosis fungoides, and appearing with unexpected color, shape, or distribution. The emergence of such a challenging clinical pictures is attributed to complex interplay of host characteristics (hygiene, aging population), environment (climate change), advances in medical procedures, and agent factors (fungal resistance, species emergence). We aim to provide a better understanding of unusual epidemiological contexts and atypical manifestations of fungal superficial diseases, knowing that there is no pre-established clinical guide for these conditions.

While typically exhibiting characteristic features, fungal infections can sometimes present in an unusual context, having improbable localization (eyelid, face, or joint); mimicking other skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or mycosis fungoides; and appearing with unexpected color, shape, or distribution. The emergence of such a challenging clinical picture is attributed to the complex interplay of host characteristics (hygiene and aging population), environment (climate change), advances in medical procedures, and agent factors (fungal resistance and species emergence). We aim to provide a better understanding of unusual epidemiological contexts and atypical manifestations of fungal superficial diseases, knowing that there is no pre-established clinical guide for these conditions. Thus, a literature examination was performed to provide a comprehensive analysis on rare and atypical superficial mycosis as well as an update on certain fungal clinical manifestations and their significance. The research and standard data extraction were performed using PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and EMBASE databases, and a total of 222 articles were identified. This review covers published research findings for the past six months.

“…Os geofílicos possuem a habilidade de manter sua viabilidade vital em solos geralmente ricos em resíduos de queratina humana e/ou animal (penas, pêlos, escamas etc. ), os zoofílicos possuem os animais como habitat primário, enquanto os antropofílicos são oriundos de humanos (SALCI et al, 2011;ANDRADE;ROSSI, 2019).…”

Identificação de fungos queratinofílicos obtidos do solo de recintos de mamíferos selvagens

et al. 2020

RESUMO: O solo é o principal ambiente de ocorrência da maioria dos fungos e tem grande importância para suas atividades biológicas. Este habitat abriga especialmente fungos queratinofílicos, que fazem parte de um grupo de microrganismos capazes de produzir enzimas que degradam a queratina, destacando-se os dermatófitos, agentes de micoses em humanos e animais, sendo alguns responsáveis por infecções oportunistas. Com base no exposto, este estudo teve por objetivo detectar a ocorrência de fungos queratinofílicos em solo de recintos que abrigam mamíferos selvagens. Para isso, foram coletadas 395 amostras de solo do Parque Estadual de Dois Irmãos (PEDI), localizado na cidade de Recife - PE. As amostras foram processadas pela técnica de suspensão do solo e cultivadas em placas de Petri contendo Ágar Sabouraud Dextrose acrescido de cloranfenicol. A identificação dos fungos filamentosos foi realizada através de microcultivo em lâmina, baseando-se na observação de características macro e micromorfológicas das colônias. Como resultados, foram obtidas 233 Unidades Formadoras de Colônias (UFC), das quais 85 (36,5%) eram provenientes do solo que abrigava mamíferos da ordem Carnivora, seguido por 84 UFC (36%) em solo de mamíferos da ordem Primates. Em relação aos fungos identificados, observou-se uma maior ocorrência de Microsporum gypseum com 123 UFC (52,8%), seguido por Chrysosporium sp. com 28 UFC (12,0%) e Fusarium sp. com 10 UFC (4,30%). Animais que vivem em recintos contaminados podem ser portadores assintomáticos de muitas doenças fúngicas, atuando na transmissão para outros animais e seres humanos. Como forma preventiva, salienta-se melhoria nas condições higiênicas e de manejo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: fungos, dermatófitos, micoses, animais selvagens.
