Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.0K
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

661
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...

Fungal Group Zygomycota01:29

Fungal Group Zygomycota

1.8K
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...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

6.5K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Fungal Phylum Basidiomycota01:26

Fungal Phylum Basidiomycota

1.7K
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...

Fungal Phylum Ascomycota01:28

Fungal Phylum Ascomycota

2.0K
Phylum Ascomycota, a major division within the subkingdom Dikarya, comprises a diverse range of fungal species, including both unicellular yeasts and filamentous molds such as Aspergillus and Penicillium. These fungi thrive in a variety of habitats, from aquatic ecosystems to terrestrial environments, playing crucial ecological and economic roles.Morphology and ReproductionThe defining characteristic of Ascomycetes, commonly referred to as sac fungi, is the ascus—a sac-like structure that...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study found Tinea pedis and Tinea unguium are common skin infections. Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequent cause, but T. schoenleinii was unusually found in Tinea pedis cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection.
    • Understanding regional prevalence and causative agents is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Tinea pedis and Tinea unguium represent significant public health concerns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a clinico-mycological investigation of dermatophytosis cases.
    • To identify the most prevalent clinical types and etiological agents.
    • To discuss factors contributing to the high incidence of Tinea pedis and Tinea unguium.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinico-mycological study of 114 patients with dermatophytosis.
    • Clinical classification of infection types.
    • Mycological identification of fungal isolates.

    Main Results:

    • Tinea pedis was the most common clinical presentation (38.6%).
    • A high prevalence of Tinea unguium (23.7%) was observed.
    • Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequently isolated species (46.2%).
    • An unusual isolation of T. schoenleinii occurred in four Tinea pedis cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Tinea pedis and Tinea unguium are prevalent in the studied region.
    • Trichophyton rubrum is the primary etiological agent.
    • The presence of T. schoenleinii in Tinea pedis warrants further investigation.
