  • Tinea nigra presenting speckled or "salt and pepper" pattern.
    The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014
    Co-Authors: André Luiz Rossetto, Rosana Cé Bella Cruz, Vidal Haddad Junior
    Abstract:

    A 7-year-old Caucasian female resident of the southern coast of Brazil presented dark spots on the left palm that converged to a unique macule with speckled pattern at about 1 month. The mycological exam and the fungi culture were typical of Hortaea werneckii, the agent of the superficial mycosis Tinea nigra. The patient received butenafine hydrochloride 1% for 30 days, resulting in a complete remission of the lesion. At a follow-up visit 12 months after treatment, there was no lesion recurrence. We describe a form of rare geographical Tinea nigra with a speckled pattern. The “salt and pepper” aspect should be taken into consideration when the mycosis was suspected.

  • A case of Tinea nigra associated to a bite from a European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus, Leporidae): the role of dermoscopy in diagnosis
    Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2014
    Co-Authors: André Luiz Rossetto, Rosana Cé Bella Cruz, Patricia Rossetto Correa, Eduardo Figueiredo Pereira, Vidal Haddad Junior Filho
    Abstract:

    We report a case of Tinea nigra in an adolescent living in Itapema, Santa Catarina, Brazil, who presented a hyperchromic macule on the palm of the left hand, close to another erythematous macule caused by a rabbit bite. The patient received guidance on accidents and animal bites and evolved well treated with topical butenafine for the dermatomycosis. The authors also highlight the efficacy of the dermoscopic exam in diagnosing Tinea nigra with animal bite lesions and other traumas.

  • Images in Clinical Tropical Medicine Tinea nigra Presenting Speckled or "Salt and Pepper" Pattern

    Co-Authors: Rosana Cé Bella Cruz, Vidal Haddad Junior
    Abstract:

    A 7-year-old Caucasian female resident of the southern coast of Brazil presented dark spots on the left palm that converged to a unique macule with speckled pattern at about 1 month. The mycological exam and the fungi culture were typical of Hortaea werneckii, the agent of the superficial mycosis Tinea nigra. The patient received butenafine hydrochloride 1% for 30 days, resulting in a complete remission of the lesion. At a follow-up visit 12 months after treatment, there was no lesion recurrence. We describe a form of rare geographical Tinea nigra with a speckled pattern. The "salt and pepper" aspect should be taken into consideration when the mycosis was suspected. A 7-year-old Caucasian female child, who was a resident of Itapema town on the northern coast of Santa Catarina State, Brazil, presented dark spots on the left palm about 1 month before the exam; they converged to a unique macule with speckled pattern, with a 1.5 +2.0-cm diameter and geographic shape (Figure 1). The mycological exam revealed septate, dematiaceous hyphae, and presence of yeast-like cells with spores. The fungi culture in Sabouraud's agar showed a moist, shiny, rough, and black colony. The fungi in the culture were identified as Hortaea werneckii (Figure 2). The topical treatment with butenafine hydrochloride 1% for 4 weeks caused complete remission of lesions, with no recurrence during follow-up for 1 year.

  • DOUBLE-BLIND STUDY WITH TOPICAL ISOCONAZOLE AND TERBINAFINE FOR THE TREATMENT OF ONE PATIENT WITH BILATERAL Tinea nigra plantaris AND SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
    Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 2013
    Co-Authors: André Luiz Rossetto, Rosana Cé Bella Cruz, Vidal Haddad Junior
    Abstract:

    The authors report a case of bilateral Tinea nigra plantaris treated through a double-blind study with the topical antifungal agents Isoconazole and Terbinafine. The objective of the study was to clinically compare the efficacy of these two topical antifungal agents on days 10, 20 and 30 of the treatment. No significant clinical differences were found, as all the plantar lesions regressed completely by the end of the treatment. Our conclusion was that in the case reported, the topical antifungal agents Isoconazole and Terbinafine demonstrated identical efficacy as a clinical cure. We also suggest the inclusion of injuries caused by arthropods of the Diplopoda Class in the differential diagnosis of Tinea nigra plantaris, due to the persistent acral hyperpigmentation.

  • Tinea nigra: successful treatment with topical butenafine Tinea nigra: tratamento bem-sucedido com butenafina tópica
    Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia, 2012
    Co-Authors: André Luiz Rossetto, Rosana Cé Bella Cruz
    Abstract:

    The authors report a case of Tinea nigra in an 8-year-old child, male, from Itajaí, SC, Brazil, with lesions of the macular hyperchromic type, unique, asymptomatic, localized in the right palmar area. The lesion was treated with the topical antifungal butenafine, with remission of symptoms and without recurrence at follow-up for two years.Os autores relatam um caso de Tinea nigra observada em criança com oito anos de idade, do sexo masculino, procedente de Itajaí, Estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil, com lesão do tipo mácula hipercrômica, única, assintomática e localizada na região palmar direita. A lesão foi tratada com o antifúngico tópico butenafina com remissão completa do quadro e sem recorrência no acompanhamento por dois anos

  • Tinea versicolor Tinea nigra white piedra and black piedra
    Clinics in Dermatology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Alexandro Bonifaz, Fernando Gomezdaza, Vanessa Paredes, Rosa Maria Ponce
    Abstract:

    Superficial mycoses are fungal infections limited to the stratum corneum and its adnexal structures. The most frequent types are dermatophytoses or Tineas. Tinea versicolor involves the skin in the form of hypochromic or hyperchromic plaques, and Tinea nigra affects the skin of the palms with dark plaques. White piedra and black piedra are parasitic infections of scalp hairs in the form of concretions caused by fungal growth. Diagnosis of these mycoses is made from mycologic studies, direct examination, stains, and isolation, and identification of the fungi. Treatment includes systemic antifungals, topical antifungals, and keratolytics.

  • Tinea nigra by Hortaea werneckii, a report of 22 cases from Mexico
    Studies in mycology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Alexandro Bonifaz, Hamid Badali, G.s. De Hoog, M. Cruz, Javier Araiza, M.a. Cruz, Leonel Fierro, Rosa Maria Ponce
    Abstract:

    Tinea nigra is a superficial mycosis caused by Hortaea werneckii. It is an infrequent asymptomatic infection that affects human palms and soles, and is mostly observed in tropical countries. We evaluate retrospectively twenty-two confirmed cases of Tinea nigra from a total of eleven yr (1997-2007) and discuss the epidemiology, clinical features and treatment of this disease. In twelve cases, adults were involved, in 10, children. In nineteen cases the disorder was located on palms of hands and in three on soles of feet. In all cases, the obtained isolates were morphologically identified as Hortaea werneckii and the identification of ten isolates was retrospectively confirmed with the help of sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions of the ribosomal DNA. The patients received topical treatment with Whitfield ointment, ketoconazole, bifonazole, or terbinafine. Treatment with keratolytic agents and topical antifungals was effective.
