Summary: This study found that 42.9% of patients with erysipelas had fungal infections, with toenails and interdigital spaces being the most commonly affected areas. T. rubrum was the most common pathogen identified. Preventing and treating fungal infections in elderly individuals can significantly reduce the incidence of erysipelas.

Summary: We conducted an epidemiological assessment of superficial fungal infections in the Laboratory of Parasitology-Mycology of the Hospital of Nice over a 2-year period. Dermatophytes, particularly Trichophyton rubrum, remain the predominant fungal species. Our study also revealed an increasing number of non-dermatophytic mould infections. This research provides important insights into the epidemiological profile of superficial fungal infections in our patient population.

Summary: This study aimed to develop diagnostic criteria to differentiate fungal foot infections caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum and dermatophytes. A scoring system was established based on factors including immunocompetence, family history, pruritus, concurrent infections, and occupational exposure. The criteria and score show promise for clinical use, with acceptable discriminative performance and good calibration.

Summary: The study focused on analyzing the secretion of relevant antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs), especially RNase 7, human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2), and the S-100 protein psoriasin (S100A7), in patients with confirmed tinea pedis. It was found that the AMP concentrations were significantly higher in the lesional skin of tinea pedis patients compared to non-lesional skin and healthy skin of controls, with elevated concentrations of hBD-2 and psoriasin.

Summary: Retinoids, derived from vitamin A, have shown potent antimicrobial activity against a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Although lacking double-blind clinical trials, current evidence supports the efficacy, tolerability, and safety profile of retinoids against localized and systemic fungal infections.

Summary: Fungal infections present a broad spectrum of diseases in humans, with skin infections being a relatively less explored area. Superficial mycoses are a common problem in some communities, such as athlete's foot.

Summary: This study evaluated the burden of tinea pedis in underrepresented groups in the United States using the AoU research program. The results showed that Black and Hispanic participants had a higher prevalence of tinea pedis, and underrepresented groups defined by age, LGBTQ status, education level, income, and physical disability also had higher rates of tinea pedis.

Summary: The relationship between psoriasis and onychomycosis is still controversial, but nail involvement and abnormal blood vessels in psoriasis may weaken the natural defense against fungal infection. Treatment with immunosuppressive drugs may also increase the risk of onychomycosis.

Summary: Dermatomycosis, including tinea pedis and onychomycosis, is common in routine medical care in Japan. This study analyzed the risk factors for developing tinea pedis and onychomycosis and found that advanced age, male sex, diabetes, and lower-limb ischemia were independent risk factors for tinea pedis development, while diabetic peripheral neuropathy was an independent risk factor for onychomycosis.

Summary: Onychomycosis is a common fungal infection of the nail that can be transmitted within households through shared surfaces, equipment, and pets. Understanding the specific mechanisms of household transmission and implementing preventive measures is important for reducing the spread of onychomycosis.

Summary: The study conducted in Iran found a relatively high prevalence of onychomycosis in patients, with dermatophytes, yeasts, and saprophytic fungi being the main causative agents. Additionally, luliconazole showed potent antifungal activity against a broad spectrum of fungi, suggesting its potential as a first-line therapy for onychomycosis.
