Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.1K
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...

Antifungal Agents01:15

Antifungal Agents

1
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 Phylum Microsporidia

679
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...

Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

5
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:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • Oral candidiasis (OC) is a prevalent fungal infection of the oral cavity.
  • Candida albicans overgrowth is the most common etiology.
  • Thrush is a recognized but not the sole presentation of OC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diverse clinical presentations of oral candidiasis.
  • To highlight the importance of recognizing various OC forms.
  • To discuss current diagnostic and management strategies for OC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on clinical presentations of OC.
  • Classification of OC into white and erythematous categories.
  • Summary of treatment modalities for oral candidiasis.

Main Results:

  • OC exhibits varied clinical manifestations, broadly categorized as white or erythematous.
  • Effective management involves oral hygiene, topical, and systemic treatments.
  • Awareness of diverse presentations aids accurate diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Oral candidiasis requires comprehensive understanding beyond thrush.
  • Clinicians must be adept at diagnosing and managing all OC subtypes.
  • Integrated treatment approaches ensure optimal patient outcomes.
