Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin Diseases and Disorders

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...

Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

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...

Area of Science:

Medical Mycology
Dermatology
Rare Diseases

Background:

Dermatophytic disease is a rare, poorly understood orphan condition primarily seen in North Africa.
It is often linked to immune deficiency and high consanguinity.
The pathophysiology remains largely unclear.

Observation:

A case of a 24-year-old man with trichophytic disease caused by Trichophyton rubrum is presented.
The patient exhibited numerous subcutaneous nodules.
The disease typically manifests initially as recurrent scalp ringworm or affects hairless skin.

Findings:

Trichophyton rubrum was identified as the causative agent in this case.
The case occurred in a context of high consanguinity.
Commonly isolated dermatophytes in the Maghreb include T. violaceum.

Implications:

Current treatment regimens are not established.
Management strategies focus on improving immune status and antifungal use to prevent visceral dissemination.
Further research is needed to elucidate the pathophysiology and establish effective treatments for this rare disease.
