This study at Mbarara University of Science and Technology found that T. violaceum is the most common cause of tinea capitis in children in Western Uganda, and systemic therapy is preferred over topical treatments for effective management due to the nature of the infection.

This article reviews the impact of natural fungal pathogens on laboratory animal research and reports no new results, calling attention to infection risks with dermatophytes, Candida, and pneumonia in immunocompromised rodents.

This review discusses the dermatology of nonhuman primates and emphasizes the need for a cohesive approach to study and report their dermatologic diseases, without assuming similarities to human or other veterinary conditions.

This review discusses the historical and current epidemiological trends of tinea capitis in Spain and warns about a potential resurgence due to increased anthropophilic species if not properly managed; it reports no new clinical data.

The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing skin diseases in ferrets.

This study found that in Yogyakarta, dermatophytosis in cats is primarily caused by M. canis and characterized by symptoms such as alopecia, crust, and erythema.

In this study, topically applying 2% ketoconazole cream twice daily for 21 days was found effective in treating dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis in cats, showing approximately 85% improvement in skin lesions and the disappearance of the fungi.

Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.

In this study, researchers conducted a large genome-wide association meta-analysis and found 30 significant genetic loci linked to the risk of dermatophytosis, shedding light on the roles of keratin biology, skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and obesity in the disease.

In this in-vitro study, neem leaf extract, combined with oils from Eucalyptus citriodora and Cymbopogon martini, inhibited dermatophyte growth responsible for tinea capitis, showing potential for developing a treatment formulation against the infection.

Terbinafine is the most effective medicine for fungal nail infections, especially for diabetics and those with weak immune systems.

This conference proceeding abstract provides no new research results, focusing only on event details from the British Association of Dermatology's Forty-Sixth Annual Meeting held in Oxford in 1966.

This article discusses how challenges in drug development and success rates are driving a shift in the pharmaceutical industry towards engineering targeted drug delivery systems, with nanomaterials offering potential solutions for selective therapeutic delivery.

This study observed a high prevalence of the dermatophyte M. canis in humans and pets in Egypt, particularly highlighting the potential for zoonotic transmission from dogs and cats to humans.

This article reviews small animal experiments reported from 1932 to 1952 in two dermatology journals and notes the contributions of Farris's book on laboratory animal care.

In this expert consensus, the authors aimed to address the challenges of diagnosing and treating uncommon dermatophytoses due to their distinct characteristics and lack of standardized protocols, by providing scientific guidance on their epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.

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 study documented the first confirmed infections of Trichophyton bullosum in donkeys in Africa, indicating equines as primary hosts and highlighting the potential underestimation of this pathogen's prevalence.

This study found that scalp involvement in dermatomyositis consistently shows a nonscarring pattern with chronic telogen effluvium, featuring telangiectasia and mucin deposition as universal histologic markers.

This study suggests that using a dermoscope, a handheld microscope, can effectively help distinguish between Pityrosporum folliculitis and Acne vulgaris by revealing unique lesion characteristics that are not visible to the naked eye, offering a practical diagnostic alternative when KOH examinations are unavailable.

This case report describes a 30-year-old woman with vitiligo who developed a rare dermatophyte infection encircling one of her vitiligo patches, possibly due to immunosuppression from her treatment.

In these clinical cases, topical propolis treatment effectively resolved canine dermatophytosis, including hair regrowth, with no known side effects, suggesting it as a promising natural treatment option.

This review discusses the diagnosis and characteristics of dermatophyte infections and offers no new research findings, emphasizing the importance of microscopy and culture for accurate identification before treatment.

This case study reports a new variant of chronic dermatophytosis with giant cutaneous horns, suggesting a possible genetic link and highlighting successful treatment with antifungal medications.

This review discusses fungal skin infections in children, including diagnosis challenges and treatment options, and does not present new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the importance of accurate pathogen identification for effective treatment.

This study found that patients with recurrent dermatophytosis experienced significant impairment in quality of life, suggesting the importance of early treatment and counseling to reduce psychosocial effects.

This report describes cases of tinea capitis in women over 65, an age group where it is rare, highlighting the need for fungal culture in atypical scalp dermatoses to avoid diagnostic delays.

Transplant patients face higher skin cancer risks due to immunosuppressive therapy, requiring careful skin health monitoring.

This source reviews the potential of polyphenols as therapeutic and preventive treatments for common skin disorders such as acne, fungal infections, dermatitis, alopecia, and skin cancer, emphasizing their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects and ability to penetrate the skin barrier.

This case study identified Geotrichum candidum as a cause of skin lesions in a horse following extended corticosteroid or antibiotic use, noting the importance of thorough diagnosis and specific antifungal treatment to improve symptoms.
