Presentation
OBJECTIVE: To present the 15-year experience of a tertiary dermato-mycology clinic with the diagnosis and treatment of deep dermatophytosis. METHODS: Patients were identified by database search. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The experience of a tertiary dermato-mycology clinic in Israel is presented. [life-worldwide.org]
This article will review the clinical presentations, pathologic characteristics, underlying disease and treatment outcome of patients with deep dermatophytosis reported in published studies. [afwgonline.com]

Generalized Seizure
The patients clinical condition worsened; hedeveloped generalized seizures and was placed onantiepileptic therapy. A vitreous sample was obtained by fine-needle Fig 1. [docslide.net]
Workup
See Workup for more detail. Management Topical therapy is recommended for a localized infection because dermatophytes rarely invade living tissues. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Systemic antifungal treatment leads to complete resolution. The urgent need for the treatment of superficial fungal infections in immunocompromised patients is emphasized. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment Currently, there are no treatment guidelines available for deep dermatophytosis. But considering the depth of invasion, systemic antifungal agents should always be used. [afwgonline.com]
Despite improvements in supportive care and patient selection, death after ASCT remains a concern due to progressive disease, infection, and other treatment- and non-treatment-related causes. [medworm.com]
Transient response was observed after each treatment. In the last 2 years, the lesions progressed with poor response to combined antifungal treatment, consisting of voriconazole and L-AMB. [aspergillus.org.uk]

Prognosis
The host immune status plays a major role in disease pathogenesis, extent and prognosis. Systemic antifungal treatment is always necessary. [afwgonline.com]
Etiology
T. rubrum - the predominant etiological agent in human dermatophytoses in Chennai, India. Afr J Microbiol Res 2007;52:09-12. 12. Chander J. Dermatophytoses, textbook of medical mycology.1995;1:91-112. 13. Wagner DK, Sohnle PG. [e-ijd.org]
Infectious etiologies include the hematogenous dissemination of bacteria such as that found in septic emboli from endocarditis, ecthyma gangrenosum, or meningococcemia. [academic.oup.com]
Epidemiology
It provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections and presents strategies for infection prevention and control. [books.google.de]

While this phenomenon of recalcitrant dermatophytosis at present is seen, particularly, in the Indian subcontinent, it is likely that such an epidemiological trend may soon drift to the Western world. [cdriadvlkn.org]
These variations have not been recorded in a formal study and provide more reason why an all-encompassing epidemiologic study is urgently needed. [ijdvl.com]
Pathophysiology
However, the immune response that is raised, and especially the degree of inflammation, varies according to the dermatophyte species, the host species and the pathophysiological status of the host. [4], [5], [14] In general, the zoophilic species cause [e-ijd.org]
Prevention
It provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections and presents strategies for infection prevention and control. [books.google.de]
