“…Furthermore, the Candida genus is highly present on the cockroach’s external surface, in agreement with previous studies, and we emphasize the role of both Candida sp. in superficial mycosis among oncology patients (essentially Candida parapsilosis, Candida albicans, and Candida zeylanoides) , as well as Candida parapsilosis as an invasive fungus responsible for meningitis in HIV patients in our hospital [ 1 , 3 , 7 , 17 , 19 , 20 ]. In addition, Penicillium was described as one of the most important cockroach fungal contaminants in hospital environments [ 1 , 12 , 3 ].…”

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.
