“…In addition, uncommon cases of Trichophyton tonsurans infection have been previously reported [19], causing atypical tinea corporis in Algeria where this species is not commonly recovered. Furthermore, this dermatophyte can occasionally be responsible of tinea pseudoimbricata, manifesting as multiple concentric annular erythemas [20,21], especially when long-term topical steroids misuse [5,22,23].…”

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.

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.

“…Almost 75% of fingernail and 90% of toenail onychomycosis are caused by two species of dermatophytes, namely Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum (Joyce et al, 2019;Youssef et al, 2018). Another cases are caused by Tricophyton verrucosum, Tricophyton violaceum, Tricophyton soundanense, Tricophyton tonsurans, Tricophyton krajdenii, and Epidermophyton floccosum (Falotico et al, 2022;Suzuki et al, 2021). Trichophyton rubrum has been identified in multiple reports as the primary dermatophyte species, followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Tartor et al, 2019).…”

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection caused by dermatophyta and non-dermatophyte groups which infect the toenails or fingernails. Onychomycosis infection can lead to the damage of the nails which causes the nail thickness, brittle, and easily destroyed. Rhizopus sp. is considered to be one of the fungal species in the non-dermatophyte fungal infection group in the disease Onychomycosis. This study aims to determine the differences in the growth of non-dermatophyte fungi that cause onychomycosis infections on SDA and PDA media in samples of toenails from construction workers in Lamongan Regency. The research method used is descriptive, and the sampling technique used is random sampling. The sample size examined was 15 construction workers in duplicate, 15 planted in PDA media and 15 planted in SDA media. The material for this examination is scrapings from the toenails of construction workers which are planted directly on SDA and PDA media, then followed by macroscopic and microscopic examination. Based on macroscopsic examination, it was found that the colonies were white to grayish white, had a cotton-like surface and were spreading. Based on microscopic examination using the addition of 1 drop of LCB dye reagent, fungal elements were obtained which indicated the non-dermatophyte fungus Rhizopus sp. namely there are stolon, rhizoid, sporangiospore, sporangium and apoplysis. From the results of this research it can be concluded that there is growth of the fungus Rhizopus sp. non-dermatophyte group on PDA media and SDA media, there was no difference in the growth of non-dermatophyte fungi that cause onychomycosis in the toenails of construction workers in Lamongan Regency on PDA media and SDA media and there was a difference in the growth of the fungus Rhizopus sp. Non-dermatophyte groups causing onychomycosis based on age.
