Dermatophytes test medium (DTM) is one of those firstly developed media for rapid presumptive identification of dermatophytes . Unfortunately, some non-dermatophytes mould (NDM), either pathogenic or saprophytic, can survive the type and concentration of the used antifungal agents.
18 Απρ 2009 · A total of 155 patients clinically suspected with dermatophytosis were included in the study. Of which 105 specimens were skin scrapings and 50 were hair. KOH microscopy, fungal culture and first round and nested PCR were done on clinical specimens, and results compared.
This test has been evaluated for the detection of dermatophytes from the skin specimen and has shown the sensitivity of 62% with high negative predictive value of 92%. However, the main disadvantage of this technique is that it cannot be applied for hair or nail samples.
11 Φεβ 2020 · Dermatophytes are pathogenic fungi with high affinity for keratinized structures present in nails, skin and hair, causing superficial infections known as dermatophytoses (Gnat et al. 2019f). Due to the growing prevalence of human fungal infections, these diseases have become a worldwide public health issue (Köhler et al. 2017 ).
9 Ιουν 2021 · Dermatophytoses are a very common cause of consultation in dermatology. The diagnosis of these superficial infections, which include a large variety of diseases involving skin, nails, and hair, is usually not clinically obvious and requires mycological analysis,...
18 Απρ 2009 · Results. Of the 105 clinically suspected cases of skin dermatophytosis, 63.8% (67/105) were positive for fungal elements by KOH microscopy. Dermatophytes were detected in 82.8% (87/105) of the specimens by nested PCR, 49.5% (52/105) by first round PCR and isolated by culture in 23.8% (25/105) cases.
This article describes and contrasts dermatophytes (Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale, and Trichophyton concentricum) and their resulting clinical presentations, such as tinea pedis, onychomycosis, tinea corporis, tinea imbricata, and tinea incognito.
