Tinea corporis caused by Microsporum gallinae: First clinical case in Japan.Miyasato H, Yamaguchi S, Taira K, Hosokawa A, Kayo S, Sano A, Uezato H, Takahashi K Division of Dermatology, Department of Organ-Oriented Medicine Department of Research Laboratory Center, University of the Ryukyus Graduate School of Medicine, Okinawa Medical Mycology Research Center, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan. We report herein a case of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum gallinae in a 96-year-old, otherwise healthy Japanese man. The patient had a long working history as a breeder of fighting cocks, and he suffered from two erythematous macules after being bitten by a cock. M. gallinae was identified as the infectious agent based on the morphology of isolates cultured on slides and analysis of DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) from ribosomal DNA from cultured isolates. The patient was successfully treated with antifungal ointments. To our knowledge, this is the first case of M. gallinae infection in a human reported in Japan.

Med Mycol, 49(4): 435-8. Alternariosis, caused by Alternaria spp., is a rare opportunistic infection often observed in immunocompromised patients. Alternaria is a ubiquitous saprophytic fungus that naturally is found on decaying plant materials. In this paper, a case of cutaneous alternariosis in association with tinea corporis is reported. The complicated infection was confirmed by histological examination and positive tissue culture. Although the cases of alternariosis in solid organ transplant recipients or ...

Second-line treatment with liposomal amphotericin B and cotrimoxazole, administered after a microbiological characterization of the skin scrapings, led to complete clearance of all ...
