In this case report, researchers described a 48-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a fungus ball (aspergilloma) within a tuberculosis cavity, a complication rarely reported in such patients, emphasizing the role of CT scans in diagnosis and the potential need for surgical intervention.

In this study, non-dermatophyte moulds, particularly Aspergillus and Penicillium species, were phenotypically characterized in dogs and cats with suspected mycotic dermatitis, revealing their potential role in dermatological disorders among companion animals and emphasizing the importance of conventional mycological identification techniques.

This review details historical advancements in understanding and treating superficial fungal infections, with notable milestones in identifying causative agents and developing effective treatments, but it reports no new findings.
