TL;DR
Pulsed itraconazole may represent an effective therapeutic option for selected cases of Alternaria-associated onychomycosis, and highlights the importance of correlating clinical findings with direct microscopy and repeated cultures to establish the pathogenic role of nondermatophyte moulds in nail infections.
This case demonstrates that Syncephalastrum species can cause clinically significant onychomycosis and should not automatically be dismissed as laboratory contaminants.
This case expands the known pathogenic spectrum of T. destructans, demonstrating its potential to cause invasive disease in severely immunocompromised hosts by expanding the spectrum of fungi causing invasive fungal infections by identification of novel pathogenic species.
Background: Onychomycosis is a common fungal infection of the fingernails and toenails caused by dermatophytes, non-dermatophyte moulds, and yeasts. Accurate clinical and mycological characterization is important for appropriate therapy, especially in view of emerging antifungal resistance. Objective: To study the clin...
This case series highlights the emerging clinical importance of molecularly confirmed Trichophyton indotineae as a cause of dermatophytosis in South India and improves diagnostic accuracy and contributes valuable epidemiological information regarding this emerging dermatophyte.
A 3-year-old male Border Collie diagnosed with immune-mediated dermatopathy, managed with tapering prednisolone and cyclosporine, developed rapidly progressive ocular signs and additional cutaneous lesions and died, prompting general guidance into the treatment of C. pseudobrachyspora.
Phaeohyphomycoses are rare infections caused by melanin-pigmented, saprophytic fungi commonly found in soil and on decaying plant matter. Infections typically affect immunocompromised individuals and present a wide clinical spectrum. Here, we report the case of a 63-year-old immunocompromised patient, with a history of...
