Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.9K
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...

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Pulse Assessment Sites

1.2K
Pulse assessment sites are crucial in evaluating a patient's cardiovascular health. By assessing the pulsations of arteries at specific anatomical locations, healthcare professionals can gather valuable information about blood flow, heart rate, and peripheral circulation. Understanding these pulse assessment sites is essential for conducting comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations and monitoring patients' overall health. These sites are strategically chosen due to the accessibility and...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Tinea pedis is a prevalent superficial fungal infection with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Affects approximately 3% of the global population, with higher incidence in adolescents and adults, particularly males.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide physicians with a comprehensive overview of tinea pedis.
  • To detail the clinical features, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic strategies for tinea pedis.

Main Methods:

  • A literature search was performed in April 2023 using PubMed Clinical Queries.
  • Keywords included 'tinea pedis' and 'athlete's foot'.
  • Included clinical trials, observational studies, and reviews published in English within the last 10 years.

Main Results:

  • Commonly caused by *Trichophyton rubrum* and *Trichophyton interdigitale*.
  • Recognized clinical forms include interdigital, hyperkeratotic, and vesiculobullous.
  • Clinical diagnosis accuracy is low; KOH examination is recommended for point-of-care testing, with fungal culture or molecular tools for confirmation.
  • Superficial cases respond well to topical antifungals; oral antifungals are reserved for severe or refractory cases.

Conclusions:

  • Topical antifungal therapy is the primary treatment for superficial tinea pedis.
  • Oral antifungals are indicated for severe disease, treatment failure, or in immunocompromised individuals.
  • Prognosis is favorable with appropriate antifungal treatment, while untreated lesions may persist.
