Majocchi's Granuloma - The Great Mimicker: A Case Report.
Case Rep Dermatol
October 2023
Skin Clinic, Kolding, Denmark.

Article Synopsis
- - Majocchi's granuloma (MG) is a rare fungal infection predominantly affecting hair follicles, often linked to previous use of immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, with case data coming from past reports due to its uncommon nature.

What Percentage of Hairs Are Infected in Biopsies of Fungal Folliculitis?
Dermatopathology (Basel)
April 2023
Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA 17821, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Fungal folliculitis encompasses conditions like tinea capitis and Majocchi granuloma and can vary greatly in appearance, with biopsies helping to differentiate it from similar issues.
- A study examined 72 biopsy cases to determine the proportion of infected hairs, finding that on average 54.2% were infected, but results varied based on the biopsy location.
- The study warns that when biopsies contain very few hairs, there's a higher risk of misdiagnosing fungal folliculitis, as missing infected hairs can result in false negatives.

Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare condition that can affect multiple systems, including causing eosinophilic myocarditis, which impacts the heart.
- A 67-year-old woman presented with breathing difficulties, a history of asthma, and tests indicated heart dysfunction, elevated troponin levels, and peripheral eosinophilia.
- Imaging techniques ruled out coronary heart disease but revealed lung issues, and a biopsy confirmed inflammation in the heart, leading to treatment with corticosteroids and heart failure medications.

Majocchi's granuloma: Autoinoculation and adaption of Trichophyton rubrum with molecular evidence.
Mycoses
October 2021
Department of Dermatology, Huashan Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- Trichophyton rubrum, a fungus causing skin infections, can occasionally lead to deeper tissue problems like granulomas, and few cases have shown genetic evidence for self-infection.
- Researchers aimed to identify genetic changes in T. rubrum due to autoinoculation by analyzing strains collected from different body sites in a case of Majocchi's granuloma.
- Whole-genome sequencing revealed notable genetic differences between the isolates, suggesting adaptation to distinct environments and proposing a theory on how the fungus adjusts for deeper tissue invasion based on the unique conditions of each site.

Article Synopsis
- - Majocchi's granuloma (MG) is a persistent skin infection possibly caused by the fungus Trichophyton tonsurans, commonly treated with antifungal drugs, which show limited success and high relapse rates.
