This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

This review covers the epidemiology, causes, prevention, treatment, and prognosis of dermatophytoses and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses advances in understanding tickling sensations and proposes that knismesis hypersensitivity in autism spectrum disorder may be due to impaired sensory integration.

This study challenges the idea that tarantulas produce silk from their feet to steady themselves during falls, suggesting instead that the hairs on their feet are chemosensors secreting lymph, not silk.

In this study of 50 rural children with tinea capitis, 64% had the non-inflammatory type, while 28% had the inflammatory type, with most cases showing positive results in KOH examinations.

This case report describes a carpenter who presented with contact dermatitis and trichopathy with whitish nodules in the axillary hair.

This study detected sarcoptic mange in five free-ranging raccoon dogs in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, with four showing severe skin lesions and potential secondary bacterial infections, suggesting they may act as vectors in disease spread.

This article discusses tinea capitis prevention and treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance of systemic therapy for effective antifungal action and reducing contagion risk.

This study reported a 15% prevalence of tinea capitis among primary school children in Hyderabad, with various dermatophyte species identified as causative agents.

This study found that camera trap images revealed mange-like skin lesions in snow leopards and other species in Kyrgyz reserves, with detection rates varying widely and raising concerns about disease spread.

In this study, a dog diagnosed with both ehrlichiosis and demodicosis showed significant clinical improvement after receiving a treatment regimen of doxycycline, ivermectin, diphenhydramine, vitamin B complex, and sulfur soap baths, noticeable by the 14th and 28th days of therapy.

This case report suggests that patchy hair loss in a child may be an atypical sign of persistent head lice infestation.

This case report describes an 8-year-old male with tinea capitis and Trichorrhexis invaginata, who showed significant improvement after treatment with oral micronized griseofulvin.

This case report describes a dog suffering from dermatophytosis, a zoonotic fungal infection common in warm and humid climates, with alopecia noted in the neck region and the tip of the ear.

This case report describes a cat suspected of experiencing systemic vasculitis as an idiosyncratic hypersensitivity reaction to fenbendazole, marking it as the first documented case in cats of this rare adverse reaction.

This study found that dengue virus infection caused inflammation and cell death in human hair-follicle dermal papilla cells, which may contribute to increased hair shedding observed during the epidemic in Taiwan.

This study documented that dermatophytosis was highly prevalent in Basra's cats, particularly affecting males and cats under nine months, with lesions most frequent on ears, face, and abdomen.

The researchers found that combining permethrin (44%) and fluralaner effectively reduced tick load in moose calves, as indicated by less severe hair loss, compared to untreated calves, while topical permethrin (5%) alone had no clear effect on tick load, body mass, or hematocrit.

In this veterinary case report, the treatment of a 3-year-old male cat named Chipmunk for scabiosis, otitis externa, toxocariosis, and ancylostomiasis using ivermectin, diphenhydramine, drontal, and additional medications was found to be clinically effective.

This study used molecular docking simulations to identify Adapalene, Diosmin, and Azelastine as promising drugs for repurposing against Onchocerciasis by targeting Onchocerca volvulus and its endosymbiont; further research is suggested to confirm their efficacy.

This case study suggests that the most likely diagnosis for the patient with a pink, scaling rash is secondary syphilis.

This study discovered two new species of mites in the hair follicles of squirrel monkeys from South America, potentially causing follicle damage due to secondary infection.

This study concluded that among the three diagnostic techniques for detecting Demodex mites in dogs, the scraping technique provided the best diagnostic value.

This article reviews the clinical challenges in diagnosing tinea capitis due to its varying symptoms and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for careful differential diagnosis.

In this report, the authors describe a case where a child developed alopecia areata after receiving the fifth dose of a rabies vaccine, suggesting that the vaccine may predispose to this autoimmune hair loss by affecting immune regulation.

This study found that treatment with ivermectin or fluralaner led to complete recovery in 12 of 15 reintroduced red foxes with sarcoptic mange in South Korea, highlighting the importance of ongoing treatment and monitoring.

This study highlights the importance of recognizing oral lesions in diagnosing syphilis, as illustrated by three reported cases.
