tinea pedis/과민반응

The aetiology of vesicular eruptions on the palms and on the sides of the fingers (pompholyx) is unclear. The present study was undertaken to establish whether tinea pedis, atopic dermatitis or nickel allergy is a risk factor for development of vesicular eruptions. Three-hundred-and-ninety-eight

The precise mechanism of the host defense that protects the nail from dermatophyte invasion is not known. Recent immunological findings in dermatophytosis suggest the hypothesis that the T helper 1 (Th1) response may play a role in protecting the nail from dermatophyte invasion. Our present study

Tinea pedis is a chronic fungal infection of the feet, very often observed in patients who are immuno-suppressed or have diabetes mellitus. The practicing allergist may be called upon to treat this disease for various reasons. Sometimes tinea infection may be mistaken for atopic dermatitis or

Cell-mediated immune responses were measured in 91 patients with dermatophytosis by means of delayed-type skin hypersensitivity to a purified trichophytin preparation (ethylene glycol method) and to tuberculin (purified protein derivative, PPD). The findings indicate that dermatophytes differ in

Persistence of chronic tinea pedis (CTP) and pityriasis (tinea) versicolor (PIVE) has been tentatively attributed to an impaired cellular immune response. Therefore immunophenotyping of the inflammatory infiltrates in both disorders was performed in order to detect possible defects in cellular

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this 5-year retrospective investigation were threefold. (1) Among patients with dermatitis of the feet consistent with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), what were the final diagnoses of those with dermatitis only on the feet and those whose foot dermatitis was

We report a case of 71-year-old man who developed a hypersensitivity syndrome associated with terbinafine. He was placed on terbinafine (250 mg/d) for the treatment of tinea pedis due to diabetes mellitus. Following the treatment with terbinafine, he developed drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome

Tinea pedis is a term used to encompass several clinically distinctive infections of the skin of the foot. Dermatophytic fungi are primarily responsible for these infections. Several nondermatophytes have been implicated in some patients, particularly for nail infections. The major clinical variants

Nondermatophyte molds (NDM) and dematiaceous molds are less frequently implicated as the etiological agents of tinea-like infections of the foot. Among the etiological agents, Hendersonula toruloidea (now, Nattrassia mangiferae), Scytalidium hyalinum, Alternaria species (spp.), and Fusarium spp. are

A 50-year-old man with interdigital tinea pedis developed an allergic dermatitis spreading from the toes to the lower shins. Patch tests were strongly positive to ciclopirox olamine 1% pet. Sensitization to this topical antifungal agent has rarely been reported in the literature.

Terbinafine (Lamisil) is the first safe and effective orally active agent in a new family of antifungal drugs, the allylamines. The drug has a unique site of action on sterol synthesis due to its inhibition of squalene epoxidase. The drug is highly effective against dermatophytes in vitro, and in

Fungal infections of the foot can be divided into three major varieties, all of which have differing pathophysiologic aspects with therapeutic implications. Interdigital infections involve an ecological interplay between dermatophytes and bacteria. Simple scaling types of infection are caused by

The prevalence of superficial mycotic infection worldwide is 20-25% of which dermatophytes are the most common agents. Recent developments in understanding the pathophysiology of dermatophytosis have confirmed the central role of cell-mediated immunity in countering these infections. Hence, a lack

Terbinafine (Lamisil) is the newest compound within a class of antimycotic drugs called allylamines. It is active against a broad range of dermatophytes and yeasts and exerts its fungicidal action by inhibiting squalene epoxidation during sterol synthesis in fungal membranes. Effective therapy
