- Dermatophytoses are fungal infections caused by dermatophytes that affect the skin, hair, and nails of both humans and animals.
- A study conducted over 48 months at the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda aimed to analyze the types and prevalence of dermatophytes in mycological samples.
- Out of 950 samples, dermatophytes were found in 505 cases, with tinea unguium being the most common infection, primarily caused by the species Trichophyton rubrum, highlighting the importance of mycological examinations for diagnosis and treatment.
Introduction: The Parasitology-Mycology Laboratory's analytical process involves three stages: pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical. Our focus is on the pre-analytical phase (PAP). This study addresses managing PAP non-conformities at Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda, aligning with quality standards like ISO 15189 and GBEA and aiming to detect and resolve deviations.

- The study investigates the presence of yeasts in urine and clarifies that their presence does not always indicate a urinary tract infection, focusing on funguria in a hospital setting in Morocco.
- Data was collected from over 15,000 urine samples taken over 28 months, revealing that urinary colonization by yeasts occurred in nearly 5% of cases, while urinary tract infections accounted for about 5.35%.
- The findings highlighted key risk factors for funguria, including older age, ICU admission, and broad-spectrum antibiotic use, suggesting a need for improved identification techniques and interpretation of test results in clinical practice.
