“…According to our experience and the literature research, it is advised to maintain a minimum of 8 weeks in the case of griseofulvin and 6-8 weeks in systemic azoles [13,[67][68][69] and treatment should be continued until all lesions are cleared. Gupta, in 1995 [71], reported the efficacy of terbinafine in the management of MG associated with fungi of the genus Trichophyton, with good antidermatophytic activity, adequate penetration to common sites of dermatophytes (stratum corneum and hair follicle), and reduction of the recurrence at 6 months and few side effects [16,30,72,73].…”

“…Other fungi associated with MG include Trichophyton mentagrophytes [12], T. violaceum (reported in Europe, affecting scalp) [11••], Trichophyton tonsurans (reported in Latinos, also affecting scalp) [6,13,14], Trichophyton verrucosum [15], Trichophyton schoenleinii, Microsporum canis [6,16], Microsporum audouinii [7], Microsporum gypseum [6,7], Microsporum ferrugineum [7], Epidermophyton floccosum [17], and a yeast-like fungus Trichosporon cutaneum (formerly Trichosporon beigelii) [18,19]; in glabrous skin, the etiology is similar worldwide: T. rubrum (85 %) and T. mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes (10 %).…”

Majocchi's granuloma (MG) is a rare, well-recognized, deep skin infection caused by dermatophyte, which can be seen in immunosuppressed as well as immunocompetent individuals. It is primarily caused by dermatophytes, most commonly Trichophyton rubrum; however, occasionally other Trichophyton sp., Trichosporon sp., Aspergillus sp., and Phoma sp. are involved. Diagnosis is based on clinical, mycological, and histological characteristics. This review focuses on clinical characteristics of MG and diagnosis and therapeutic options of MG.

“…Se han reportado dos variantes clínicas: la forma papular perifolicular o superficial que afecta a personas inmunocompetentes y a mujeres que se depilan las piernas, y la forma nodular subcutánea o profunda, más común en pacientes inmunosuprimidos y que se caracteriza por nódulos firmes o fluctuantes en la cabeza y brazos (15)(16)(17).…”

Comparte ResumenEl granuloma de Majocchi es una forma de infección atípica por dermatofitos con invasión de la dermis y el tejido celular subcutáneo, favorecida por el trauma de los folículos pilosos o la inmunosupresión del huésped. Siendo una infección poco común, se destaca en este artículo el caso de una paciente que luego de usar esteroides tópicos presentó pápulas y pústulas en vulva, sitio inusual de granuloma de Majocchi, siendo este el cuarto reporte a nivel mundial.Palabras clave: Granuloma, Dermatofitos, Foliculitis, Majochi. AbstractMajocchi granuloma is a form of atypical infection by dermatophytes with invasion of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, favored by the trauma of hair follicles or host immunosuppression. Being a rare infection, in this article highlights the case of a patient with papules and pustules on the vulva after using topical steroids, an unusual site Majocchi granuloma, which is the fourth global report.Keywords: Granuloma, Dermatophytes, Folliculitis, Majochi. IntroducciónLos dermatofitos comprenden tres géneros: Epidermophyton, Trichophyton y Microsporum. Son queratinofílicos en humanos y animales y están usualmente restringidos a capas cornificadas de la epidermis, sin invadir más allá de ella (1). En un huésped inmunocompetente son incapaces de penetrar tejidos viables, pero bajo condiciones de inmunosupresión adquieren la habilidad de invadir la dermis y diseminarse a nivel sistémico. Existen cuatro formas de infecciones invasivas de dermatofitos: el granuloma de Majocchi, la dermatofitosis profunda, la diseminada, y el micetoma o pseudomicetoma por dermatofitos (2). Caso clínicoSe trataba de una paciente de 14 años quien consultó a un hospital local por un cuadro de un mes de evolución que consistía en pápulas eritematosas, vesículas y pústulas en la piel del abdomen, del cual se hizo un diagnóstico inicial de eccema y se ordenaron esteroides tópicos. Posteriormente, las lesiones se extendieron hacia la vulva y región inguinal izquierda, por lo que fue remitida a un hospital de la ciudad.

The trichoscope is a key instrument in the field of trichology. It allows the detection of early problems and diseases of the scalp, and the selection of appropriate treatment methods. In some cases, it is necessary to perform extended diagnostics. Capillaroscopy enables to measure cutaneous vascularization and evaluate vascular changes. The study aimed to introduce the use of capillaroscopy in imaging of the scalp. The possibilities of diagnostic development on the way to assess the predictive value of vascular and hyperpigmented skin dermatoses were indicated. Capillaroscopy can complement the basic diagnosis and control of the skin and its appendages.
