Trichophyton soudanense, Trichophyton violaceum, and Trichophyton tonsurans in Munich: Travel- and Migration-Related Cutaneous Fungal Infections.
Dermatology
December 2024
Department of Dermatology and Allergy, LMU University Hospital, Munich, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Trichophyton soudanense, Trichophyton violaceum, and Trichophyton tonsurans are uncommon fungal pathogens in Germany primarily affecting travelers to tropical areas, prompting a study in Munich to analyze their clinical significance.
- A retrospective analysis over nearly a decade involved over 87,000 swabs, finding that 2.1% were positive for these fungi, with T. tonsurans being the most prevalent, especially in young patients.
- The findings highlight the importance of considering these rare infections, particularly Tinea capitis, in patients with relevant travel histories and potential exposure through social contact.
Skin health of Aboriginal children living in urban communities.
Australas J Dermatol
December 2024
University of Western Australia, Crawley, Western Australia, Australia.
Background: Skin concerns are frequent among urban-living Aboriginal children, yet specialist dermatology consultations are limited with studies highlighting the need for improved cultural security. Through newly established paediatric dermatology clinics at two urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), we aimed to describe clinic and patient data, including disease frequencies and associations, to inform dermatology service provision and advocacy.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of Aboriginal children and young people (CYP, 0-18 years) attending Aboriginal Health Practitioner (AHP) co-ordinated paediatric dermatology clinics at two urban ACCHOs.
Article Synopsis
- In children with long hair, scalp itching or skin lesions may hide fungal infections like tinea capitis, which can lead to serious issues if not treated in time.
- Tinea capitis is a common fungal infection in kids, exemplified by a case of an 8-year-old with scalp lesions and hair loss, confirmed by clinical evaluation and lab tests.
- Timely treatment with antifungal medication is essential to prevent complications such as permanent hair loss and to avoid spreading the infection to others.
Trichoscopic findings in neonatal alopecia in oro-facial-digital syndrome type 1.
Pediatr Dermatol
November 2024
Dermatology Department, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- - Oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1) is an X-linked dominant disorder caused by mutations in the OFD1 gene, resulting in various facial, oral, and digital abnormalities.
- - Skin symptoms occur in about 20%-30% of affected individuals and include evanescent milia (small cysts) and patchy hair loss (alopecia), which can mimic other conditions like tinea capitis.
- - Diagnosis can be confirmed through genetic testing, especially when clinicians suspect OFD1 due to specific trichoscopic findings, lack of response to antifungal treatments, and presence of midline anomalies.

Article Synopsis
- Malassezia are yeast species that naturally live on healthy skin but can contribute to various skin disorders, especially in kids.
- This review covers several skin conditions linked to Malassezia in infants, children, and adolescents, like pityriasis versicolor and seborrheic dermatitis.
- The authors analyze existing research to provide insights on these conditions, including their symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, treatment options, and theories on how Malassezia contributes to their development.
