“…'Î n South Australia, in a survey conducted by Donald el al. belween 1954 and1959, tinea capilis in Aborigines due to T. violaceum and T. tonsurans was reported as extremely prevalent but was only occasionally seen in the white population. '^ Included among the 444 dermatophyte fungi isolated from patients with tinea capitis were 41 T. violaceum isolates, of which 37 came from part-Aboriginal people.…”

From 1963 to 1995, twenty isolates of Trichophyton violaceum from cases of tinea capitis and tinea corporis were referred to the Mycology Reference Laboratory of the Microbiological Diagnostic Unit at the University of Melbourne (Parkville, Victoria, Australia). The patients had presented at clinics in metropolitan Melbourne and country towns in the state of Victoria, Australia. Most patients were immigrants from the Mediterranean region or were Australian Aborigines. The most recent isolates of T. violaceum came from Ethiopian immigrants. Details of these twenty case histories are presented. The changing global distribution of infections due to T. violaceum is noted. The literature recording infections due to T. violaceum in Australia is reviewed.

“…Trichophyton verrucosum was not reported among 581 dermatophyte fungi that were isolated from 1217 patients in a survey conducted in South Australia between 1954 and 1959. 17 Neither was it recorded among a further 1238 dermatophyte cultures isolated in South Australia from patients between 1959 and 1964. 18 It has been remarked that, since Connole’s survey of animal tinea in Queensland revealed that T. verrucosum infections were well established among Queensland cattle, 10 it was highly probable that the infection was also present in South Australian cattle and human infections would eventuate.…”

Between 1962 and 1994, 32 isolates of Trichophyton verrucosum from cases of tinea corporis, tinea faciei and tinea capitis were referred to the Mycology Reference Laboratory of the Microbiological Diagnostic Unit at The University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Patients had presented at clinics in metropolitan Melbourne and country towns in the State of Victoria, Australia. They included dairy and cattle farmers, a slaughterman who worked in an abattoir, a veterinary tutor and children who lived on farms. Many patients lived in one of the three dairy farming areas of Victoria. A few lived in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. One cattle farmer came from south-east New South Wales. Specimens were not received for examination from animal contacts of the patients. The only patient from overseas was a boy from Lebanon. The literature recording human infections due to T. verrucosum in Australia is reviewed.

“…In private practice in the period 1959(Donald et alii, 1965, we studied 117 cases of tinea pedis. Since 1958 in private dermatological practice, direct microscopic evidence of an intertriginous mycosis of the feet with isolation of C. alhicans culturaUy was obtained from four males, two of whom also were proven to have Trichophyton mentagrophytes infections.…”

Over a, period of eight years 256 cases of suspected candidiasis were investigated in private dermatological office practice by direct microscopic and cultural methods. Laboratory investigation cannot define the limits of disease with precision and the significance of the laboratory findings can only be made by the clinician, who cannot delegate responsibility for the final diagnosis. The majority of cases of intertriginous eandidiasis appeared to be secondary to intertriginous (seborrhoeic) dermatitis, diabetes, pregnancy or neoplasia, and primary candidiasis without a predisposing factor was not common. Gandidal balanitis was the elinical state most frequently associated with previou,sly undiagnosed diabetes. Because of the inadequate response of intertriginous candidiasis to topical polyene antibiotics and the frequency of a co-existing dermatitis, it was felt that hydroxyquinoline [e.g. vioform)-steroid preparations are the best a,vailable method of treatment.
