This case report describes two guinea pigs infested with Acarus farris mites, which were successfully treated with Phoxim and removal of contaminated hay, leading to rapid resolution of skin lesions and alopecia.

In this study, 90 pediatric patients with scalp microsporia were treated with a combination of griseofulvin, Antral, sertaconazole nitrate cream, and Bion 3 Kid, resulting in complete recovery, reduced treatment duration, and prevention of disease recurrence and colds, with high drug tolerability.

This review presents European guidelines for treating tinea capitis, noting systemic antifungals are essential, with griseofulvin preferred for Microsporum infections and newer antifungals viable for Trichophyton but often costlier.

This report describes a 9-year-old girl with a scalp kerion treated successfully with terbinafine and ketoconazole shampoo, leading to hair regrowth after two months.

In this study, gamma benzene hexachloride washes successfully resolved skin disease in guinea pigs affected by Trixacarus caviae, after confirmation via skin scrapings.

Selective chemical epilation effectively treats tinea capitis without harmful side effects.

This review discusses treatment options for tinea capitis in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors recommend newer antifungal agents in cases of griseofulvin treatment failure.

This literature review found that systemic antifungals, including griseofulvin, terbinafine, and azole derivatives, are effective against dermatophytosis, though their effectiveness varies with the type of infection and treatment duration.

In this study, researchers describe the causes and treatment of scabiosis in cats, identifying mites Sarcoptes scabiei and Notoedres cati as the culprits and detailing a therapeutic regimen including ivermectin, diphenhydramine, nutritional supplements, and sulfur shampoo that resulted in improved symptoms and hair regrowth.

This study found that once-daily oxiconazole cream effectively treats tinea infections, achieving at least 80% cure rates, and shows comparable efficacy to other antifungal creams with similar tolerability.

In this study, a female dog with ectoparasite infestation was treated for two weeks using wormectin, diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine maleate, dexamethasone, and amoxicillin, resulting in improved symptoms such as reduced itching, closure of skin ulcers, and hair regrowth.

This review discusses diagnostic methods for superficial fungal infections in children and does not report new clinical results; the authors note the ease and simplicity of these diagnostic approaches.

This study used molecular docking simulations to identify Adapalene, Diosmin, and Azelastine as promising drugs for repurposing against onchocerciasis by targeting proteins in the parasite and its endosymbiont; further research is needed to confirm their efficacy.

This article discusses dermatophytosis, focusing on the identification and clinical importance of various dermatophyte infections, but it reports no new results; the author emphasizes the value of direct examination for diagnosis.

In this study, Persian cats treated with weekly Fipronil spray showed no detectable ear mites after four weeks, suggesting the spray's effectiveness against ear mites.

In a case study, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu with both demodicosis and babesiosis showed improvement after treatment, which included medications like ivermectin and supportive care such as specialized shampoos and environmental spraying, evaluated up to the 21st day.

Treatment with oral terbinafine and topical enilconazole was successful in resolving a Trichophyton dermatophytosis outbreak in L'Hoest's monkeys, with complete mycological cure achieved after eight weeks.

Terbinafine is more effective than itraconazole for toenail fungus, especially in older patients, and debridement improves its effectiveness.

In this case series, cats infested with Lynxacarus radovskyi developed self-induced alopecia similar to flea allergic dermatitis, primarily affecting the perianal area.

This study reports that once-daily oxiconazole cream effectively achieves mycologic and clinical cures for various fungal infections, with success rates of at least 80% in patients.

This article reviews approaches to diagnosing and treating dermatophytosis and pityriasis versicolor, noting a significant change in the epidemiology of tinea capitis and highlighting the limitations of certain diagnostic techniques.

This study suggests that topical corticosteroids, potentially combined with oral zinc and followed by topical calcineurin inhibitors, may be effective for managing erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp.

This review discusses diagnostic methods for superficial cutaneous fungus infections in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize affordable, simple testing for confirmation.

This study describes the successful treatment of a stray kitten with Notoedric mange using a combination of Selamectin, benzyl peroxide shampoo, omega 3 and 6 supplements, and ayurvedic ointment, resulting in complete clinical recovery and negative skin scraping after six weeks.

This report describes an 11-year-old girl with peripilar keratin casts, a condition often underdiagnosed and mistaken for nits, highlighting the usefulness of keratolytic treatments in management.

In this study from a veterinary college, three cats with notoedric mange were treated with weekly subcutaneous injections of Ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg) combined with supportive therapy, leading to successful recovery over four weeks.

This study observed that in children with persistent kerion, ingrown hairs could be identified with a dermatoscope and their removal often improved the condition, suggesting that ingrown hairs might be an aggravating factor in the persistence of this fungal infection.

This article reviews the treatment options for tinea capitis, suggesting that itraconazole, terbinafine, and fluconazole are effective and safe alternatives to griseofulvin but reports no new clinical results.

This study documented a case of Dipylidium caninum infection in a 4-month-old female dog, effectively treated with a deworming medication, resulting in significant improvement and no worms detected after five days. Routine deworming and maintaining hygienic conditions are recommended to prevent reinfection and transmission.

In this study, researchers found that parasitic dermatitis in dogs is predominantly caused by ectoparasites like fleas and mites, with flea allergy dermatitis being particularly prevalent, and noted that diagnosis typically relies on laboratory methods, while treatments involve insectoacaricidal drugs and prevention strategies.
