    Tinea versicolor (TV) infections were visualized using scanning electron microscopy. The study found that the deep follicular location of fungal spores likely explains the recurrence of this common skin infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Mycology
    • Microscopy

    Background:

    • Tinea versicolor is a superficial fungal infection.
    • Understanding its pathogenesis is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the ultrastructural topography of Tinea versicolor using scanning electron microscopy.
    • To elucidate the mechanisms of Tinea versicolor spread and recurrence.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with various sampling techniques including scalpel scrapings, biopsies, and cyanoacrylate adhesive slides.
    • Employed critical point drying to preserve fine ultrastructure.

    Main Results:

    • SEM revealed the topography of Tinea versicolor infection and its spread.

  • Deep follicular location of fungal spores was observed, suggesting a role in recurrence.
  • Eccrine pores appeared unaffected by the infection.

    • Conclusions:

    • The deep follicular colonization by fungal spores is a key factor in Tinea versicolor recurrence.
    • SEM provides valuable insights into the spatial dynamics of superficial fungal infections.
