Objective
This study aims to assess the clinical characteristics of sporotrichosis in low‐endemic areas of China, including the prevalence geography, genotypic traits of patients, clinical manifestations, and strain virulence and drug sensitivities. The objective is to improve the currently used clinical management strategies for sporotrichosis.
Methods
Retrospective data were collected from patients...
Background
Arthroderma uncinatum is a geophilic dermatophyte that occasionally causes superficial infections in humans leading to skin diseases.
Objectives
To better understand the ecology and potential pathogenicity of A uncinatum, we analysed its whole genome. We compared A uncinatum with the genome of the zoophilic dermatophyte Microsporum canis and with the anthropophilic species Trichophyton rubrum...
Background
The infection rate for dematiaceous fungi has increased rapidly over the most recent decades. However, the treatment for such infections has been lacking in empirical support with oral antifungal agents.
Objectives
To provide a better regimen for dematiaceous infections in future, the Sensititre YeastOne® colorimetric antifungal panels were used and compared with Laboratory Standards...
We report a case of imported pulmonary coccidioidomycosis caused by Coccidioides posadasii in a patient who was misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and mistreated with antituberculosis medications for 18 months. The symptoms were not relieved until antifungal treatment was started. An extensive review of the coccidioidomycosis cases occurring in China reveals 38 cases, 16 of which had no associated history...
Tinea capitis remains a common public health problem worldwide especially in developing areas. Aetiologic agents and clinical pattern vary with geography and history of socioeconomic conditions. Three community surveys and a prospective study were carried out over the past 50 years (1965–2014) in the Qingyunpu District of Nanchang, Southern China. Clinical presentation and spectrum of aetiological...
