    Notes: Two related cases of ringworm caused by contact with an infected hedgehog are reported. The causal fungus, Trichophyton erinacei, was isolated from human and animal cases. The epidemiology of hedgehog ringworm is discussed.

    Cutaneous fungal infection following renal transplantation: a case control study (1987)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    British journal of dermatology 117 (1987), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: The prevalence of cutaneous fungal infection was studied in 72 patients who had undergone renal transplantation and compared with a group of age and sex matched controls. Samples were obtained from toe nails, toe webs, and the upper back; clinically suspicious lesions from other areas were also examined. A total of 576 sites were sampled (288 in each group). Pathogenic fungi were identified from 44 sites (15%) in the renal transplant (RT) group compared with 26 sites (9%) in the control group, (P 〈 0.05). However, site-specific differences were less marked; no difference was found between the RT group and controls when the results from the toe nails and toe webs were analysed separately. Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the most common species isolated from both groups.Colonization of the back with Pityrosporum yeasts was significantly more common in the RT group, but few patients in either group had tinea versicolor.‘Mixed infections, with more than one species of fungus isolated in an individual, were only found in the RT group.We also examined the relationship between the presence of fungal infection and the presence or absence of cutaneous malignancy in the renal transplant group. No increase in the prevalence of fungal colonization was found in those patients who had developed cutaneous malignancy compared with those who had not.

    Dermatophyte onychomycosis in children (1989)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Clinical and experimental dermatology 14 (1989), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Four-hundred and ninety-four schoolchildren and 200 children attending a paediatric medical out-patient clinic were screened for clinical evidence of dermatophyte onychomycosis. Only one case was found and mycological investigation showed this to be due to Trtchophyton rubrum. The overall prevalence of dermatophyte onychomycosis in the prospective survey of schoolchildren was 0·2%, confirming that this type of infection is very uncommon in children. Seven further cases of nail infection occurring in children under the age of 12 years are reported. These represent all cases collected by our laboratory over a 3-year period. In six cases where culture of nail was positive, the causative organism was T. rubrum. In four cases at least one parent was also found to have dermatophyte onychomycosis; again, T. rubrum was the causative organism in all cases. Dermatophyte onychomycosis in children appears to be of low infectivity, (in contrast to viral wart infection), and a parental source should be suspected and sought.

    Cutaneous cryptococcosis: treatment with oral fluconazole (1989)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    British journal of dermatology 120 (1989), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-2133

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: A case of cutaneous cryptococcosis is described in an immunocompromised patient. The initial lesion developed on the dorsum of the hand following trauma and was initially thought to be neoplastic. Satellite subcutaneous lesions developed in a ‘sporotrichoid’ pattern along the forearm. Treatment with oral fluconazole resulted in the complete resolution of the lesions. This is the first published report of the use of fluconazole in the treatment of cutaneous cryptococcosis.

    Tinea capitis in South Wales—observations in change of causative fungi (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Clinical and experimental dermatology 19 (1994), S. 0

    Notes: We report an observed change in the causative organisms in 45 consecutive cases of tinea capitis seen in the Cardiff area over the last 9 years. Direct microscopy using potassium hydroxide was positive in all but one case, but this was subsequently positive on culture. This retrospective analysis shows that more cases are being seen in our department, and that a higher proportion of cases are due to Trichophyton violaceum whereas previously we would have expected the majority of cases to be due to Microsporum canis. We believe that the change in causative organism that we have identified has important practical and diagnostic implications. Endothrix fungi such as T. violaceum do not fluoresce under Wood's lamp unlike ectothrix fungi such as M. canis, and therefore failure to perform adequate mycological examination of specimens could result in missed diagnoses. We are not aware of this change having been reported from other UK centres. The finding indicates a need for further prospective epidemiological studies to confirm this apparent trend.
