  • Microsporum Gypseum infection in the Siena area in 2005-2006.
    Mycoses, 2008
    Co-Authors: Clara Romano, L. Massai, A. Gallo, Michele Fimiani
    Abstract:

    Fourteen cases of dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum Gypseum, representing 6.8% of all dermatophytic infections reported, were diagnosed in Siena, Italy, between 2005 and 2006. There were as follows: six cases of tinea corporis, one case of tinea corporis associated with tinea capitis, one case of tinea corporis associated with tinea barbae, one kerion on the head, one tinea cruris, one tinea faciei, one tinea barbae, two onychomycosis. In the three subjects with tinea corporis, the clinical appearance was impetigo-like, psoriasis-like and pityriasis rosea-like respectively. In another case, the lesion was indicative of tinea imbricata. The diagnosis was based on mycological examination. In six cases, the source of infection was a cat, whereas in the others it was contact with soil.

  • tinea incognito due to Microsporum Gypseum in three children
    Pediatric Dermatology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Clara Romano, F Asta, L. Massai
    Abstract:

    Tinea incognito is a dermatophytosis of atypical clinical character due to the absence of classic features of ringworm. It is caused by prolonged use of topical steroids, sometimes prescribed as a result of incorrect diagnosis. The cases reported in the literature have different clinical presentations and have generally been in adults. We report three children with tinea incognito in whom the lesions were psoriasis-like, eczema-like, and lichenoid, respectively. Diagnosis was confirmed by mycologic examination, which led to the identification of Microsporum Gypseum, a geophilic dermatophyte which is an infrequent agent of mycotic infection in humans.

  • Onychomycosis due to Microsporum Gypseum.
    Mycoses, 1998

    Abstract:

    The first four cases of onychomycosis due to Microsporum Gypseum observed in Italy between 1990 and 1997 are reported. clinical manifestation was distal subungual onychomycosis in all cases. The lesions were asymptomatic in two patients. Three patients were treated with oral itraconazole (pulsed therapy) and the other with ciclopirox 8% nail lacquer. Clinical and mycological recovery was achieved in all cases. The cases are reported because of their rarity.

Wir beschreiben die ersten vier der in Italien zwischen 1990 und 1997 beobachteten Falle von Nagelmykosen mit Microsporum Gypseum als Erreger. Das klinische Bild war in allen Fallen durch eine distale subunguale Ony-chomycoses gekennzeichnet. Die Lasionen waren in zwei Patienten asymptomatisch. Drei der Patienten wurden mit Itraconazol gemass dem Pulstherapieschema behandelt, wahrend ein Patient lokal 6 Monate lang mit Ciclopirox behandelt wurde. Alle Falle heilten klinisch und mykologisch vollstandig ab. Wir beschreiben diese Falle wegen ihrer Seltenheit.

    Co-Authors: C. Romano, A. Ghilardi, Michele Fimiani
    Abstract:

    A case of onychomycosis with nail dystrophy due to Microsporum Gypseum in a healthy 35-year-old woman is described. The infection had a 2-year history, occurring in the site of a nail trauma sustained in a fall from a horse. Diagnosis was based on mycological examination (direct microscope observation and culture). Clinical and mycological recovery was achieved after local treatment with ciclopiroxolamine nail solution and pulsed systemic terbinafine therapy.
