Trichophyton rubrumsyndrome: the tip of the iceberg and a preventable outcome

Abstract: Infections of the skin, nails and hair caused by Trichophyton (T.) rubrum are currently the most prevalent dermatophytoses (Foster KW et al., J Am Acad Dermatol 2004; 50: 748-52). This fungus can colonise the plantar foot from childhood and can remain active for years (Zaias N et al., Int J Dermatol 1996; 35: 614-7). The infection can propagate from this primary location through autoinoculation and secondary lesions can subsequently appear anywhere on the body. These lesions may be concurrent or intermittent,… Show more

“…Moreover, previously administered topical or systemic corticosteroid therapy also has to be considered a predisposing factor. Piñeiro et al pointed towards secondary tinea as a result of autoinoculation from primary tinea pedis, as they found T. rubrum syndrome in 7 % of these secondary infections. Four male patients (age: 38–56) with T .…”

“…Als disponierender Faktor muss zudem eine zuvor erfolgte lokale oder auch systemische Steroidbehandlung angesehen werden. Piñeiro et al wiesen auf die sekundäre Tinea infolge einer Autoinokulation von einer Primärinfektion der Füße hin, bei 7 % dieser sekundären Infektionen würde ein T.‐rubrum ‐Syndrom vorliegen. Vier 38 bis 56 Jahre alte männliche Patienten mit T .‐ rubrum ‐Syndrom wiesen disponierende Faktoren auf.…”
