Presentation
OBJECTIVE: To present the 15-year experience of a tertiary dermato-mycology clinic with the diagnosis and treatment of deep dermatophytosis. METHODS: Patients were identified by database search. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The experience of a tertiary dermato-mycology clinic in Israel is presented. [life-worldwide.org]
This article will review the clinical presentations, pathologic characteristics, underlying disease and treatment outcome of patients with deep dermatophytosis reported in published studies. [afwgonline.com]
CASE REPORTIn December 2000, a 45-year-old man was re- ferred for evaluation of a mass on his left thigh thathad been present for 2 weeks. [docslide.net]
Neurologic
- Generalized Seizure
The patients clinical condition worsened; hedeveloped generalized seizures and was placed onantiepileptic therapy. A vitreous sample was obtained by fine-needle Fig 1. [docslide.net]
Workup
See Workup for more detail. Management Topical therapy is recommended for a localized infection because dermatophytes rarely invade living tissues. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Systemic antifungal treatment leads to complete resolution. The urgent need for the treatment of superficial fungal infections in immunocompromised patients is emphasized. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment Currently, there are no treatment guidelines available for deep dermatophytosis. But considering the depth of invasion, systemic antifungal agents should always be used. [afwgonline.com]
Despite improvements in supportive care and patient selection, death after ASCT remains a concern due to progressive disease, infection, and other treatment- and non-treatment-related causes. [medworm.com]
Orally administered griseofulvin remains the standard treatment for tinea capitis. Topical treatment of onychomycosis with ciclopirox nail lacquer has a low cure rate. [aafp.org]
Transient response was observed after each treatment. In the last 2 years, the lesions progressed with poor response to combined antifungal treatment, consisting of voriconazole and L-AMB. [aspergillus.org.uk]
Prognosis
The host immune status plays a major role in disease pathogenesis, extent and prognosis. Systemic antifungal treatment is always necessary. [afwgonline.com]
Etiology

Infectious etiologies include the hematogenous dissemination of bacteria such as that found in septic emboli from endocarditis, ecthyma gangrenosum, or meningococcemia. [academic.oup.com]

These variations have not been recorded in a formal study and provide more reason why an all-encompassing epidemiologic study is urgently needed. [ijdvl.com]

Pathophysiology
However, the immune response that is raised, and especially the degree of inflammation, varies according to the dermatophyte species, the host species and the pathophysiological status of the host. [4], [5], [14] In general, the zoophilic species cause [e-ijd.org]
