Article Synopsis
- Ringworm is common and often diagnosed using methods like PCR, which aren't always accessible, or culture, which takes time; a new rapid test, Diafactory®, may streamline this process.
- The study collected 333 nail samples from suspected onychomycosis patients, comparing the new rapid antigen test with traditional culture methods.
- The rapid test showed high sensitivity (97.2%) and decent specificity (80.7%), indicating it’s an effective alternative for quick diagnoses and early treatment, reducing hospital visits.
Circumscribed palmar hypokeratosis (CPH) is a localized disorder of epidermal keratinization that is presented as a well-delimited, depressed, erythematous plaque on the palms or on the soles. It is histopathologically characterized by an abrupt thinning of the corneal epidermal layer. CPH is considered a benign condition, but a few cases with dysplastic changes/carcinoma in situ in the hypokeratotic epidermis have been described.
