    Notes: Two cases of tinea pedis due to Scytalidium hyalinum, the first to be described in Italy, are reported. The patients were a 41-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man who had spent periods in the Caribbean. The clinical manifestations were indistinguishable from those caused by dermatophytes. In the woman they were striking with ‘moccasin foot’ type lesions, whereas in the man they were less evident, with minor plantar desquamation and interdigital maceration. Diagnosis was based on direct mycological microscopic examination and culture. Clinical and mycological remission were obtained with systemic itraconazole therapy. These cases are reported because infections caused by Scytalidium hyalinum are rare in Europe and their clinical and mycological diagnosis, as well as therapy, may be problematic.

    Notes: Abstract We report the electrophysiological findings and the management of 5 subjects with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) and clinical evidence of nerve entrapment. Three had carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), 1 bilateral CTS and right tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) and 1 Guyon's canal syndrome. Only 1 patient (with CTS) showed significant clinical improvement after surgical decompression; the other 4 demonstrated a slight recovery of conduction without lasting clinical relief after conventional treatment. To explain these failures we hypothesized that these entrapment syndromes were the clinical expression of underlying diffuse damage to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The conduction values of nerves unaffected by entrapment syndromes were within normal limits, but almost all distal velocities were below the mean of controls. Such subclinical distal peripheral neuropathy was also verified in a selected sample of 17 patients with PSS, without clinical symptoms or signs of PNS involvement. In these 17 cases the mean distal sensory and motor conduction findings of the median, ulnar, sural and tibial nerves were significantly lower than those of a control group, while no significant differences were found in the more proximal tracts of the same nerves. Furthermore, 3 of the 17 patients showed classical electrophysiological evidence of TCS and TTS without any clinical symptoms. We concluded that the subjects with PSS had subclinical polyneuropathy which may become plain polyneuropathy or nerve entrapment syndromes perhaps induced by other risk factors.

    Two cases of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis by Alternaria alternata and Alternaria tenuissima (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Two cases of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis, one with a nodular appearance and the other with an erythematous infiltrating patch, are reported in immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis was based on histological examination, which revealed hyphae and round-shaped fungal cells in a granulomatous dermal infiltrate, and on identification of the moulds when biopsy fragments were cultured on Sabouraud-dextrose agar without cycloheximide. The pathogens were Alternaria tenuissima in the first case and A. alternata in the second. The fungi were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The patients were checked for bone and lung involvement and were then treated with surgical excision and itraconazole, and itraconazole only, respectively, with clinical and mycological resolution.
