Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.3K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Fungal Phylum Microsporidia01:28

Fungal Phylum Microsporidia

767
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular fungi that were initially classified as protists but were later reclassified based on phylogenetic, molecular, and structural evidence linking them to the Chytridiomycota. These unicellular, non-motile organisms are highly specialized parasites that infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans. They have evolved extensive genomic and metabolic reductions, making them highly dependent on their hosts for survival.Morphology and Genomic...

Antifungal Agents01:15

Antifungal Agents

103
Amphotericin B is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that exploits structural differences between fungal and mammalian cell membranes. Its amphipathic structure—featuring a hydrophobic polyene-lactone ring and a hydrophilic region containing mycosamine and carboxylic acid groups—enables selective binding to ergosterol, a sterol predominantly found in fungal plasma membranes. This selective interaction underlies the drug’s antifungal activity, although weak binding to...

Fungal Group Zygomycota

2.2K
Zygomycota, previously classified as a distinct fungal group, are primarily terrestrial, saprophytic molds that play a crucial role as decomposers. Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed that these fungi are now divided into two major clades — Mucoromycota, which includes many symbiotic species, and Zoopagomycota, which primarily consists of parasitic and pathogenic fungi. These groups exhibit distinct ecological roles and reproductive strategies while sharing key structural and...

Fungal Phylum Basidiomycota01:26

Fungal Phylum Basidiomycota

2.1K
Basidiomycota is a diverse phylum of fungi that includes ecologically significant decomposers such as white rot fungi, symbionts like mycorrhizal fungi, plant pathogens such as rusts and smuts, and edible species like Agaricus bisporus (the common button mushroom). These fungi play crucial roles in nutrient cycling, symbiotic relationships, and even human health. Their defining feature is the basidium, a microscopic club-shaped structure responsible for producing basidiospores.Fruiting Bodies...

Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

71
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Coccidioidomycosis is a prevalent pulmonary fungal infection endemic to arid regions of the Western United States.
  • The infection is frequently linked to significant dermatological presentations.
  • Cutaneous manifestations can be either reactive or due to direct fungal involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the association between coccidioidomycosis and its cutaneous manifestations.
  • To emphasize the role of dermatologists in diagnosing coccidioidomycosis.
  • To review the spectrum of skin findings associated with this fungal infection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations and literature on coccidioidomycosis.
  • Analysis of reported cases with cutaneous involvement.
  • Dermatopathological correlation of skin lesions.

Main Results:

  • Common cutaneous manifestations include erythema nodosum, generalized exanthems, Sweet syndrome, and reactive granulomatous dermatitis.
  • In disseminated cases, the skin can be a site for the Coccidioides organisms.
  • Recognition of specific skin patterns can aid in early diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Cutaneous manifestations are a frequent and important feature of coccidioidomycosis.
  • Dermatologists are crucial in identifying patients with coccidioidomycosis based on skin findings.
  • Early recognition of dermatological signs can lead to timely diagnosis and treatment.
