Actas Dermosifiliogr
January 2025
Servicio de Dermatología, Hospital Universitario de Fuenlabrada, Madrid, España.
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.
Bioinformatics-Driven mRNA-Based Vaccine Design for Controlling Tinea Cruris Induced by .
Pharmaceutics
July 2024
Department of Management, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan 5290002, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- * Developing an mRNA-based vaccine for tinea cruris is proposed as a way to provide long-term immunity, reduce reliance on antifungal medications, and tackle issues like antifungal resistance.
- * The study involves identifying potential protein candidates for the vaccine using reverse vaccinology, mapping immunogenic epitopes, and formulating a multitope mRNA vaccine with selected effective components to stimulate immunity.
Common Skin Conditions in Children and Adolescents: Nonbacterial Infections.
FP Essent
June 2024
Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Texas Health, San Antonio.
Article Synopsis
- - Tinea infections, except for tinea versicolor, are caused by dermatophytes, with diagnosis often confirmed through potassium hydroxide preparation or other methods.
- - Treatment varies by the type of tinea; topical drugs are effective for most, while oral medications are necessary for tinea capitis and often preferred for onychomycosis, pending diagnosis confirmation.
- - Warts are typically treated with methods like cryotherapy or immune stimulants, while scabies requires treatment for both affected individuals and close contacts, using topical permethrin or oral ivermectin.
Deep cutaneous mycoses in kidney transplant recipients: Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Med Mycol
January 2024
Unité de Parasitologie-Mycologie, Service de Microbiologie clinique, GHU Necker-Enfants-Malades, Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP), Paris, France.
Article Synopsis
- Deep cutaneous mycoses (DCMs) are rare infections that predominantly affect kidney transplant recipients, with a noted increase in incidence potentially linked to a growing population of organ transplant patients.
- A study reviewed 20 cases over 12 years, revealing lesions mainly on limbs as single nodular formations with positive direct mycological examinations in 85% of cases, identifying 13 different fungal species.
- Treatment involving antifungals was common, and the presence of (1-3) beta-D-glucan antigen in serum proved to be a reliable diagnostic tool, emphasizing the need for tailored antifungal therapy based on the specific fungal species identified.
