“…It is responsible for most scalp infections, being the predominant agent detected at this region in most studies 12,13,14,15,18 . In the present study it was the second most frequent species, in agreement with the trend reported in a previous study conducted in São Paulo 46 and in European studies conducted in Spain, Greece and Italy 9,35,39 . In other regions, the frequency of M. canis varies, with the species being the third most frequent one in Rio Grande do Sul and Goiás (Brazil) and Argentina 12,13,15,31 , and being present at reduced percentages in Colombia and in the Amazon region 6,40,41 .…”

SUMMARYDermatophytosis are superficial mycoses caused by fungi that can invade stratum corneum and keratinized tissues. In order to study the frequency of dermatophytes species and the clinical manifestations caused by these fungi, in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, the authors analyzed cultures isolated at the Mycology Laboratory from a selected population (15,300 out-patients of the Hospital das Clínicas, Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine of University of São Paulo) from January 1992 to June 2002.The most prevalent dermatophyte was Trichophyton rubrum (48.7%), followed by Microsporum canis (20.9%), Trichophyton tonsurans (13.8%), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (9.7%), Epidermophyton floccosum (4.1%), and Microsporum gypseum (2.5%). These agents determined more than one clinical manifestation, i.e., tinea corporis (31.5%), tinea capitis (27.5%), tinea unguium (14.8%), tinea cruris (13.9%), tinea pedis (9.9%), and tinea manuum (1.9%). Clinical variants of dermatophytosis and their relationship to the etiologic agents were studied and the results were compared to those obtained in previous studies in other regions of Brazil and in other countries.

“…Studies conducted in European countries, United States of America, Mexico and Argentina, also confirm the higher percentage of isolation of T. rubrum 10,15,23,34,35 . This is an anthropophilic fungus perfectly adapted to human keratinized tissues causing a mild chronic inflammation and rarely infects animals 49 .…”

“…Bu çalışmada renal transplantasyon yapılan hastalarda tespit edilen deri bulgularının normal populasyona göre artmış olduğu gözlenmiştir 4,5 . Özellikle immünsupresif tedavi kullanımına bağlı olarak bir çalışmada olduğu gibi infeksiyöz hastalıklar ön planda görülmektedir 6 .…”

“…Dosyaları taranan hastalarımızda mantar infeksiyonlarından onikomikoz tek başına ve/veya tinea pedis ile birlikte en sık gözlenen infeksiyon idi. Genel olarak baktığımızda normal populasyonda da mantar infeksiyonları en sık karşılaştığımız ve dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuruların önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır 4 . Bu nedenle mantar infeksiyonlarının görülme sıklığının fazla olmasını transplantasyon hastalarındaki immünsupresyona duruma bağlamak doğru olmayacaktır.…”

ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışmada renal transplant hastalarında görülen deri bulgularının sıklığı ve klinik özelliklerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda renal transplantasyon yapılan 116 hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Altı aylık takip süreleri olan hastaların verileri değerlendirmeye alındı. Yaşları 10-68 arasında değişen (ortalama 36,62) 68 erkek (%58,6) ve 48 kadın (%41,4) hasta vardı. Hastaların detaylı dermatolojik muayeneleri yapıldı. Hastalar cinsiyet (erkek-kadın), transplantasyon süresi (1-5 yıl, 5-10 yıl ve 10 yıl üzeri), ve kullanılan ilaçlara (siklosporin, takrolimus, bu iki ilaç dışında immünosüpresan ilacı kullanan) göre gruplandırıldı. Bulgular: Transplant hastalarında en sık görülen deri bulguları infeksiyon hastalıklarıydı. Deri bulguları onikomikoz (13), tinea pedis (9), akneiform lezyon (15) ve verruka (9) şeklinde kaydedildi. Altı ay sonraki klinik değerlendirmede benzer sonuçlar elde edildi. Klinik muayenede hastalarda %7 premalin ve malin lezyon tespit edildi. Hasta gruplarına göre elde edilen sonuçlarda cinsiyet, transplantasyon süresi ve kullanılan ilaçların klinik bulguları etkilemediği belirlendi. Sum maryBackground and Design: This study is conducted to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of cutaneous manifestations in renal transplant patients. Materials and Methods: Hospital records of 116 renal transplant patients were retrospectively investigated. The data obtained from patients who had 6 months follow-up period were evaluated. There were 68 (58.6%) males and 48 (41.4%) females aged between 10 and 68 years (mean=36.6 years). Detailed dermatologic examination was performed. The patients were grouped according to gender (male-female), posttransplant period (1-5 years, 5-10 years, >10 years) and the drugs used (cyclosporin, tacrolimus, other than these two immunosuppressant drugs). Results: The most common cutaneous manifestations were infectious. The dermatological findings were onychomycosis (13), tinea pedis (9), acneiform disorders (15), and warts (9). The clinical evaluation after 6 months has also demonstrated the same result. Among the evaluated patients, 7% showed premalignant or malignant manifestations on clinical examination. According to the results obtained from the patient groups, it was found that gender, length of post-transplant period, and use of immunosuppressant drugs do not influence the clinical manifestations of patients. Conclusion: Dermatologic examinations and long-term follow-up should be performed in renal transplant patients. (Turkderm 2013; 47: 88-93)

“…Infection caused by fungi in man and animal are more common in tropical and subtropical countries due to prevailing moisture, over population, poor hygienic living conditions and temperature regimes [1][2][3][4][5]. Skin infection due to dermatophytes has become a severe health problem affecting children, adolescent and adults.…”

Objective: The study was designed to determined antidermatophytic activity of Thymus vulgaris essential oil against fungi causing superficial skin infections in human and animal.Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of essential oil was screened against selected pathogenic fungi namely Trichophyton rubrum (MTCC 296), T. mentagrophytes (MTCC 7687), Microsporum gypseum (MTCC 4524), M. fulvum(MTCC2837), T. soudanense and T. interdigitale through semi solid agar antifungal susceptibility testing method(SAAS). Minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) was also determined by modified semi solid agar antifungal susceptibility method. T. soudanense and T. interdigitalis were isolated through TO. KA. VA hair bating technique from animal habitats soil of Jaipur district. Results:T. vulgaris essential oil exhibited excellent antideramtophytic activity against all selected dermatophytes. Minimum inhibitory concentration was ranged from 0.020±0.000μl/ml to 0.1±0.033 μl/ml. MFC were found little higher than MIC (0.02±0.000μl/ml to.2±0.000μl/ml). M. gypseum was found to be most susceptible fungus as compared to other test fungi. Conclusion:T. vulgaris was found to be most effective fungicidal agent against human pathogenic fungi. Present findings provide for a rationale basis of a possible utilization of this oil in fields requiring safe and cheap compounds with antiseptic and preservative properties, such as cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries.
