Onychomycosis caused by in leprosy patient: Case report.

We report a case of a 56-year-old Brazilian woman, with relapsing lepromatous leprosy, and onychomycosis caused by a non-dermatophyte filamentous fungi. The pathogenic fungi was identified as and treated with chemical abrasion of the nail with 40% urea and application of terbinafine cream. Onychomycosis caused by species is rare, and this is the second reported case.

Cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by : A case report.

We report a case of phaeohyphomycosis that affected the leg of a 45-year-old Brazilian man, car mechanic and renal transplanted. The direct mycological examination evidenced dematiaceous septated hyphae. The pathogenic fungal species was identified as .

Sporotrichosis by senso stricto with itraconazole resistance and terbinafine sensitivity observed and : Case report.

We report a case of a patient with lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis in the right upper limb. The fungus was identified as senso stricto by calmodulin gene sequencing. The initial treatment was itraconazole (200 mg/day), but antifungal susceptibility demonstrated high resistant to this and another six antifungals, with exception to terbinafine.

Genetic diversity and antifungal susceptibility of Fusarium isolates in onychomycosis.

Fusarium species have emerged as an important human pathogen in skin disease, onychomycosis, keratitis and invasive disease. Onychomycosis caused by Fusarium spp. The infection has been increasingly described in the immunocompetent and immunosuppressed hosts.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis associated with spider bite.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is an acute febrile rash, usually induced by drugs, which recently has been linked to spider bite. We report a case of a male patient, 48 years old, with an erythematous rash accompanied by fever and small non-follicular pustules. He reported previous pain in the buttock with the onset of a necrotic plaque.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF DERMATOMYCOSIS CAUSED BY Candida spp. IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF PORTO ALEGRE, SOUTHERN BRAZIL.

The yeasts of the genus Candida infect skin, nails, and mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal and the genitourinary tract. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dermatomycoses caused by Candida spp., and their etiological aspects in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Phaeohyphomycosis of the ungual apparatus - case report.

Phaeohyphomycosis is a disease caused by dematiaceous fungi with a worldwide geographic distribution and broad spectrum. It is most commonly found in adult individuals of both genders and all races. We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with phaeohyphomycosis in the ungual apparatus.

A case of relapsed chromoblastomycosis due to Fonsecaea monophora: antifungal susceptibility and phylogenetic analysis.

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous mycosis. The management of this infection continues to be challenging because there is no consensus on the therapeutic regimen. We report here a case of a 69-year-old male patient with cauliflower-like lesions on his left leg and foot.

Concordance between direct microscopy and fungical culture for the diagnostic of feet's onychomycosis.

Prospective study compared the agreement between the direct microscopy and fungical culture from subungueal samples of the patients with clinical suspicion of feet's onychomycosis. The agreement occurred in 56.1% of the exams with dermatophytes, in 52.

A case of Exophiala spinifera infection in Southern Brazil: Molecular identification and antifungal susceptibility.

We report a case of an 80-year-old Brazilian man, farmer, with lesions on the dorsum of the hand. A direct mycological examination, cultivation and microculture slide observation was performed. The sequencing of ITS1-5.

[Case for diagnosis. Erythema elevatum diutinum].

Erythema elevatum diutinum is a rare presentation of cutaneous vasculitis. Typical lesions are papules, plaques, and nodules that may coalesce and later turn to yellow-brown color. The extensor surface of the extremities is the most involved area and older lesions may present xanthomatous appearance.

Ecthyma-like phaeohyphomycosis caused by Cladosporium cladosporioides.

A case of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Cladosporium cladosporioides in a 50-year-old housewife is described. The clinical presentation was an ecthyma-like crusted lesion on the back of her left hand. Scanning electron microscopy of the culture showed the conidiophores and the limoniform or ellipsoidal conidia, with a slightly verrucous surface.

Epidemiology of sporotrichosis: a study of 304 cases in Brazil.

Background: Sporotrichosis is an infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii . It primarily involves the skin and lymphatic channels, but dissemination may occur.

Objective: We sought to describe clinical and epidemiologic features of cases of sporotrichosis observed in southern Brazil, and to review the literature.
