    Dermatophytosis, a fungal skin infection, often causes sweat gland dysfunction, primarily hypohidrosis (reduced sweating). This study investigated sweat duct closure and inflammation as key mechanisms behind these disturbances.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Mycology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection affecting the skin.
    • Sweat gland function can be impacted by various skin conditions.
    • Understanding these impacts is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate sweat gland disturbances in patients with dermatophytosis.
    • To explore the underlying mechanisms of these observed disturbances.
    • To discuss the clinical significance of sweat gland dysfunction in dermatophytosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Study included 54 cases of dermatophytosis.
    • Observed and documented sweat gland malfunctions, including hypohidrosis and hyperhidrosis.
    • Examined sweat duct patency and inflammatory processes in the dermis.

    Main Results:

    • Intense hypohidrosis was the predominant sweat gland disturbance.
    • Hyperhidrotic phenomena were noted in specific lesion areas in some cases.
    • Sweat duct closure at the keratin level was a significant finding.
    • Hypohidrosis was also present in adjacent normal skin areas in over 50% of cases.
    • Dermal inflammation was implicated in affecting gland function.

    Conclusions:

    • Sweat gland disturbances, particularly hypohidrosis, are common in dermatophytosis.
    • Mechanisms include sweat duct closure and inflammatory effects on glands.
    • These disturbances have clinical relevance to the management of dermatophytosis.
