Presentation
Id reactions can manifest in many forms of tinea with patients generally exhibiting pruritic papulovesicular lesions that can present far from the site of origin.4 Patients with id reactions can have atypical and varied presentations. [mdedge.com]
We present case of highly inflammatory tinea capitis, also known as kerion celsi with dermatophytide reaction caused by M. canis. [bib.irb.hr]
Dr Amit Kumar, Dermatologist, Ranchi: In diabetic patients we can’t exclude sir…because they can present as unusual presentation. Dr Bhanu Pratap Singh: Lesions are ring like with central clearing, but non-itchy. [cmeindia.in]
Dermatophytide Diagnosis The diagnosis of a dermatophytide is made by the clinical presentation and confirmed by microscopy and culture of the primary skin infection. [dermnetnz.org]

Treatment
Treatment of the primary infection cures dermatophytid; pending cure, topical corticosteroids and/or antipruritics (eg, hydroxyzine 25 mg orally 4 times a day) can be used to relieve symptoms (see Table: Options for Treatment of Superficial Fungal Infections [msdmanuals.com]
The secondary lesions can be of various type, but mainly eczematous, papular and pustular (2); they may occur before starting therapy or immediately after starting treatment. [ejpd.com]
• Treatment is based on clearance of the original dermatophyte infection. [mdedge.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Excellent with good compliance and subsequent precautions to avoid repeat infection. Prevention Good skin hygiene. Good nail hygiene. Avoiding prolonged wetting or dampness of the skin and feet. [patient.info]
If opportunistic bacterial infection occurs, antibiotics may be required.[2] Prognosis[edit] A full recovery is expected with treatment.[2] Recurrent id reactions are frequently due to inadequate treatment of the primary infection or dermatitis and often [en.wikipedia.org]

Changes in epidemiology, etiology, and clinical patterns of fungal infections due to M. canis are significant. Greater awareness of this problem is needed in order to establish proper diagnosis and successful treatment strategy for these patients. [hrcak.srce.hr]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology[2, 3] Infection is limited to the dead layers of skin but encouraged by a damp and warm local environment. [patient.info]
Prevention

Systemic prednisolone, 10 mg/day for 7 days has been also administered in order to relive symptoms of “ide” reaction and to prevent scarring. After 12 weeks of therapy, complete clinical and mycological regression was observed. [bib.irb.hr]
Prevention Good skin hygiene. Good nail hygiene. Avoiding prolonged wetting or dampness of the skin and feet. Avoiding trainers, which can retain sweat and promote a warm, moist environment. Treatment of tinea pedis - helps prevent onychomycosis[6]. [patient.info]
