Guinea pigs infected with Trichophyton mentagrophytes developed a cutaneous fungal lesion and became skin test positive to fungal antigen (trichophytin). The cutaneous fungal lesion, while thought to be a cell-mediated response, differed histologically from the skin test site. Basophils were not demonstrated in biopsies of cutaneous fungal lesions, whereas basophils were numerous in biopsies of trichophytin skin test sites. When sensitization to trichophytin was accomplished by injection of hypha in complete Freunds adjuvant instead of infecting with live fungus, basophils could not be demonstrated in skin test sites. This report demonstrated that guinea pigs could be primed for cutaneous basophilic hypersensitivity (CBH) responses by infection with live fungus.

The organisation of higher education across the world is one of several factors that conspire to create the assumption that our own map of the intellectual disciplines is, broadly speaking, valid cross-culturally. Disciplines in the Making challenges this in relation to eight main areas of human endeavour, namely philosophy, mathematics, history, medicine, art, law, religion and science.

A variety of treatments are available for feline dermatophytosis. As this family of diseases is transmitted by direct contact with infective material coming from the skin and haircoat of infected animals, treatment and premises control is required to disinfect the haircoat and reduce environmental contamination. Treatments comprise topical and systemic modalities. Sometimes both methods must be combined to achieve clinical and/or mycological cure. A shelter study has demonstrated that topical therapies can prevent spread of dermatophyte infection to uninfected in contact cats. Whole-body topical therapies known to be effective include twice-weekly applications of lime sulfur or enilconazole leave-on rinses, or a miconazole-chlorhexidine shampoo. Enilconazole is available in Canada and Europe, but not in the USA. Either miconazole or chlorhexidine alone, especially chlorhexidine, are not very effective as monotherapies; these agents should be combined for best results. Other potentially ...

Chronic dermatophytosis was observed in 2276 10.02% of 22 692 patients with dermatophytosis during a period of 5.5 years. Males were affected at least 3 times more frequently than females. The age group most commonly affected was between 20 and 40 years of age. Females were affected more between the ages of 30 to 40 years. Tinea cruris and...

Dermatophyte infection of the skin including lesions of the trunk and limbs. All known dermatophytes may produce lesions. Infection is acquired from an active lesion of an animal, by direct human contact, or from soil. Spread from existing localized infection, e.g. feet, is not uncommon. Characteristic lesions are circular and sharply marginated with a raised edge. Scaling is a common but not constant finding. Lesions may also be eczematous, vesicular and pustular in nature.. ...

Trichophyton usually causes a superficial skin infection, affecting the outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum. In immunocompromised patients, deeper invasion into the dermis and even severe systemic infection with distant organ involvement can occur. Most cases of deeper dermal dermatophytosis described in the literature so far involved pre-existing superficial dermatophytosis. We report a 68-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a 3-month history of palpable nodules on the right ankle without pre-existing superficial dermatophytosis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple, well-demarcated, cystic lesions around the lateral malleolus, located in the subcutaneous or dermal layers. The sizes varied from 0.5 cm to 4 cm in diameter. The patient underwent complete excision of the lesions. Fungal culture yielded Trichophyton rubrum on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Histopathology showed organizing abscesses with degenerated fungal hyphae. After the 12-week oral

N2 - Serum samples from patients with dermatophytosis and those from controls were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting specific antibodies of the IgG and IgM classes against purified keratinolytic proteinase from Microsporum canis. Of the 130 sera tested from patients with dermatophytosis, 71 showed reactive results in the ELISA to antihuman IgG antibodies (IgG-ELISA) and 38 in the ELISA to antihuman IgM antibodies (IgM-ELISA). Of the 50 sera from controls, who were free from mycotic infection, and consisted of healthy blood donors and dermatological outpatients, 47 showed nonreactive results in the IgG-ELISA and 49 in the IgM-ELISA. There were ...

Introduction. Dermatophytosis is a frequently encountered disease in cats, which are an important source of zoonotic infections (1). A fast acting efficacious therapy is therefore necessary. The concomitant use of oral itraconazole and topical enilconazole was tested in cats under naturally infected field conditions. Materials and methods. Eight privately owned, Microsporum canis culture positive cats with ringworm lesions were included in this trial. Cats were treated orally with itraconazole (ItrafungolTM, 5 mg/kg/day for 3 alternating weeks) and topically with enilconazole (ImaverolTM, 4 washings with 4-day intervals). All cats were FIV and FeLV negative. Clinical and mycological monitoring was performed on days 14, 35, 56 and 77 after the onset of treatment (day 0). Clinical monitoring included evaluation of the number of lesions, presence of erythema, pruritus, scales or crusts, hair re-growth and overall clinical cure. Onset of clinical improvement was registered by the owners. Mycological ...

Cutaneous pseudolymphoma, also called lymphoid infiltrates of the skin mimicking lymphomas, is defined as reactive polyclonal benign lymphoproliferative process predominantly composed of either B-cells or T-cells, localized or disseminated. A 62-year-old male presented with multiple asymptomatic swellings over the posterior aspect of the left ear of 1-year duration. On examination, multiple nodules were present over the left retroauricular area, 2 of which were skin colored, firm, and nontender. Histopathology revealed pseudolymphoma with the features of a dense diffuse and nodular infiltrate of small and large lymphocytes and histiocytoid cells involving the whole of reticular dermis and extending to subcutis. A patch test was done using Indian standard battery series showed positive reaction - 2+ for paraphenylenediamine. A diagnosis of cutaneous pseudolymphoma was made. The lesions were treated with intralesional Triamcinolone acetonide injection 10 mg/ml for 2 sittings, 3 weeks apart ...
