Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.0K
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

298
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...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

673
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.1K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.5K
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.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Fungal Group Zygomycota01:29

Fungal Group Zygomycota

780
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi causing superficial infections of skin, hair, and nails.
  • Classified by ecology into anthropophilic, zoophilic, and geophilic groups.
  • Genital dermatophytosis (tinea genitalis) is a superficial fungal infection of the genital region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical presentations of genital dermatophytosis.
  • To discuss updates in dermatophyte taxonomy and nomenclature.
  • To highlight new diagnostic techniques and emerging antifungal resistance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical presentations.
  • Analysis of recent taxonomic and nomenclature changes.
  • Overview of emerging diagnostic methods and antifungal resistance patterns.

Main Results:

  • Genital dermatophytosis exhibits varied clinical manifestations.
  • Significant changes in dermatophyte classification and naming are occurring.
  • New diagnostic tools are becoming available.
  • Antifungal resistance is a growing concern, leading to treatment challenges.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding updated taxonomy and diagnostics is crucial for managing genital dermatophytosis.
  • The rise in antifungal resistance necessitates novel therapeutic strategies.
  • Addressing hard-to-treat cases requires a comprehensive approach.
