Epidemiology, Clinical Characteristics, Sites of Infection and Treatment Outcomes of Mucocutaneous Candidiasis Caused by Non-Albicans Species of Candida at a Dermatologic Clinic.

Background: Increasing numbers of mucocutaneous infection due to non-albicans species of Candida (N-CA) had been reported. Laboratory based studies showed multidrug resistance in N-CA population.

Objective: Demonstrate epidemiology, clinical characteristics, sites of infection, and treatment outcomes of mucocutaneous candidiasis caused by N-CA at a dermatologic clinic, including statistical evaluation data between N-CA and C.

Efficacy of 5% amorolfine nail lacquer in Neoscytalidium dimidiatum onychomycosis.

Background: Amorolfine nail lacquer was mentioned as an effective treatment for non-dermatophyte nail infection. Onychomycosis that caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum is considered recalcitrant onychomycosis.

Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate efficacy and treatment outcomes of amorolfine nail lacquer in N.

Distinct characteristics of Scytalidium dimidiatum and non-dermatophyte onychomycosis as compared with dermatophyte onychomycosis.

Studies of demographic data, predisposing factors and clinical manifestations of non-dermatophyte mold (NDM) infection particularly in Scytalidium spp. have been limited. This study aimed to compare these data between dermatophytes (DMP) and NDM onychomycosis with statistical analysis.
