“…Interdigital psoriasis (“white psoriasis” or “psoriasis alba”) is a distinct but atypical form of psoriasis that is often missed as it is commonly mistaken for interdigital fungal infection [ 7 ]. A report of Bowen's disease [ 8 ] and a case of Verrucous carcinoma in the third and fourth toe web space which is presented by intractable intertrigo has been reported [ 9 ]. Also, malignant melanoma in the interdigital space has been diagnosed [ 10 ].…”

Background. The etiology of foot intertrigo is varied. Several pathogens and skin conditions might play a role in toe web space lesions. Objective. To identify the possible etiological causes of toe web space lesions. Methods. 100 Egyptian patients were enrolled in this study (72 females and 28 males). Their ages ranged from 18 to 79 years. For every patient, detailed history taking, general and skin examinations, and investigations including Wood's light examination, skin scraping for potassium hydroxide test, skin swabs for bacterial isolation, and skin biopsy all were done. Results. Among the 100 patients, positive Wood's light fluorescence was observed in 24 and positive bacterial growth was observed in 85. With skin biopsy, 52 patients showed features characteristic for eczema, 25 showed features characteristic for fungus, 19 showed features characteristic for callosity, and 3 showed features characteristic for wart while in only 1 patient the features were characteristic for lichen planus. Conclusion. Toe web space lesions are caused by different etiological factors. The most common was interdigital eczema (52%) followed by fungal infection (25%). We suggest that patients who do not respond to antifungals should be reexamined for another primary or secondary dermatologic condition that may resemble interdigital fungal infection.

Bowen's disease, an intraepitelial neoplasm of keratinocytes, is characterized by a sharply demarcated, asymptomatic, scaly or crusted, erythematous plaque that is slow growing. It may progress into invasive squamous cell carcinoma. It most commonly affects sun-exposed surfaces of elderly females. Herein we report a case of Bowen's disease in the web-space of both feet for 1 year who was initially diagnosed as tinea pedis. The rarity of this presantation in dermatology is emphasized.

“…In the begin it may starts as a bacterial infection, which can further damage the stratum corneum and facilitate the proliferation of other drug resistant microbes. Gram negative bacteria like P. aeruginosa combined with other gram-negative bacteria such as Moraxella, Alcaligenes, Acinetobacter, and Erwinia are often reported as agents associated with toe web intertrigo 4 .…”

The study was taken up to identify the various bacterial agents causing intertrigo of feet and to determine the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of the isolated bacterial agents. A total of 75 pus samples were collected from infected toe, web space infection by using sterile swabs.Samples were inoculated into Blood agar and MacConkey agar for the bacterial isolation and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed as per CLSI Guidelines. Out of 75 samples examined 38 were from male patients and 37 were collected from female patients. 101 different types of bacteria were grown in the present study. Among them38 Gram-PositiveCocci (GPC) and 63 Gram-Negative Bacilli (GNB). Of 38 Gram positive cocci isolated, Staphylococcus aureuswere19 (18.81%), followed by Coagulase negative staphylococcus (CONS) 12 (11.88%) and Streptococcus spp7 (6.93%). Of 63 Gram negative bacilli isolated Pseudomonas were19 (18.81%), followed by Proteus 16 (15.84%) and Klebsiella13 (12.87%). 25.8% Staphylococcus sppare Methecillin Resistant (MR) strains. Among the Gram negative bacteria 9.25% of the strains were showing resistance to Colistin or Tigecycline. It is known fact that different microbes and factors play very important role in lesions of toe web space. In the present study 25.8% of Staphylococcus species and 9.25% of Gram negative bacteria were multi drug resistant.Therefore, clinical and microbiologic studies are needed to help in the selection of appropriate treatment, prevention of important complications and emergence of drug resistance pathogens.
