[Histopathological study on the course of a dermatophytic disease]
Abstract:
Histological study of cutaneous biopsies of an algerian girl with a "dermatophytic disease" (cf. supra Marill and al.). During the six first years of evolution diagnosis of mycosis had not been made for no specific fungus staining was done, but the fungus was present in the tissues. Vesicular forms and few filaments were seen in the first biopsies but polymorphism increased with the time and filaments became predominant and very abundant at the end of the disease.

These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
