tropical dermatology fungal tropical diseases
Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2004Co-Authors: Omar Lupi, Stephen K Tyring, Michael R McginnisAbstract:Fungal infections are common in tropical countries and can have an important impact on public health. LoboMycosis is a common fungal infection in the tropical rain forest of South America, and paracoccidioidoMycosis (South American blastoMycosis) is a widespread and sometimes severe illness. Penicilliosis marneffei is an opportunistic infection of AIDS patients in southeast Asia. ChromoblastoMycosis and mycetomas are causes of morbidity around the world. Sporotrichosis is a worldwide subcutaneous Mycosis with a high incidence in tropical countries and is an important illness in immunocompromised patients. Rhinosporidiosis was classed as a fungal infection but is now considered a protistan parasite that belongs to the class Mesomycetozoea. It is included in this review because of its historical classification. In the past, most of these mycoses were restricted to specific geographic areas and natural reservoirs. There are, however, situations in which people from other regions come in contact with the pathogen. A common situation involves an accidental contamination of a traveler or worker who has contact with a tropical Mycosis. Even minor trauma to the skin surface or inhalation of the fungal conidia can infect the patient. Thus recognition of the clinical symptoms and the dermatologic findings of the diseases, as well as the geographic distribution of the pathogens, can be critical in diagnosis of the tropical mycoses. This review discusses some of the more common tropical subcutaneous and systemic mycoses, as well as their signs, symptoms, methods of diagnosis, and therapies. Learning objective At the completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to recognize the clinical and histologic presentations of tropical fungal diseases with cutaneous manifestations and be familiar with the appropriate therapies.

Terapia farmacológica antifungica en estomatología
'Universidad Inca Garcilaso de la Vega', 2018Co-Authors: Badillo Macedo, Diego AlonsoAbstract:Las infecciones fúngicas o micosis pueden causar diversos tipos de lesiones tanto leves como severas, logrando ser en ocasiones mortales. La micosis se puede dividir en superficiales, subcutáneas, sistémicas y oportunistas. Estas dos últimas son frecuentes en cavidad bucal ya sea originados de manera primaria o secundaria, es decir por diseminación.Mycosis or fungal infections can cause many types of injuries, both minor and severe, managing to be fatal in some cases.

Mycosis fungoides and sezary syndrome clinical histopathological and immunohistochemical review and update
Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia, 2012Co-Authors: Thamy Yamashita, Luciana Patricia Fernandes Abbade, Mariangela Esther Alencar Marques, Silvio Alencar MarquesAbstract:This paper reviews the diagnostic and classificatory concepts of Mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome in light of the latest normative publications. It describes the great variability of the clinical expression of Mycosis fungoides in its early stages as well as the histopathological and immunohistochemical aspects that help with diagnosis. The diagnostic criteria required for characterizing Sezary syndrome and the staging system used for both Mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome are described.

cd20 antigen may be expressed by reactive or lymphomatous cells of transformed Mycosis fungoides diagnostic and prognostic impact
The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 2013Co-Authors: Marielaure Jullie, Martina Carlotti, Alexandre Vivot, M Beylotbarry, N Ortonne, Eric Frouin, Agnes Carlotti, Anne De Muret, B Balme, F FranckAbstract:Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common primitive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, can undergo transformation in about 10% of cases. Transformed Mycosis fungoides (T-MF) is often associated with the appearance of a CD20+ component. The aim of this study was to analyze whether such cells are reactive or ly
