Article Synopsis
- Tinea capitis, a contagious fungal infection mainly caused by dermatophytes like T. tonsurans, has been linked to transmission in barber shops in Germany through unsterilized shaving tools.
- A study involving 18 young male patients who developed symptoms after haircuts revealed the presence of T. tonsurans in all samples, indicating transmission via hairdressing equipment.
- Effective treatments included antifungal medications such as terbinafine and itraconazole, underscoring the importance of proper sterilization practices in preventing infections.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the significance of a specific fungal complex in causing dermatophytosis, highlighting that proper identification of its species is crucial for effective treatment due to varying antifungal susceptibilities.
- A study characterized 55 fungal isolates from patients in Yucatán, Mexico, using both morphological analysis on Sabouraud dextrose agar and molecular sequencing of specific DNA regions.
- The results indicated that all isolates belonged to the same complex, with different colony textures categorized as powdery or velvety, reflecting various underlying infections in the patients.

- The 2016 epidemiological survey of dermatomycosis in Japan analyzed 6,776 cases, with dermatophytosis being the most common at 85.2% (5,772 cases).
- Tinea pedis was the most frequent subtype of dermatophytosis, followed by tinea unguium and tinea corporis, while Trichophyton rubrum was identified as the primary pathogen.
- Candidiasis accounted for 11.2% of the cases, with candidal intertrigo being the most prevalent type, and variations in case numbers were noted based on the cooperating medical institutions and population demographics without significant differences in clinical types.

Dermatology Department, Hospital de Santo António dos Capuchos, Centro Hospitalar Universitário Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal.
Article Synopsis
- Adult tinea capitis and tinea barbae, though uncommon in developed countries, still pose health risks and financial implications, with a study analyzing their characteristics over an 11-year period.

Article Synopsis
- Dermatophytes can infect skin, nails, and hair, leading to conditions like tinea capitis and tinea barbae, but less commonly in smooth skin areas.
- A study involving 16 patients revealed that most had multiple lesions, with many having previously tried antifungal or antibiotic treatments.
