Interdigital Pedal Erythrasma treated with one ‐time dose of oral clarithromycin 1 g: Two case reports
The following are the first detailed cases of Interdigital Pedal Erythrasma successfully treated with a one ‐time dose of oral clarithromycin 1 g. This is ideal for patients who failed topical therapy or have mechanical or psychosocial restrictions. Treatment provides better compliance, less gastric side effects, and lower treatment costs than oral alternatives. AbstractThe following are the first detailed cases of Interdigital Pedal Erythrasma successfully treated with a one ‐time dose of oral clarithromycin 1 g.

Interdigital Erythrasma
A 58-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of itchy and painful erosions on the interdigital spaces of the right foot, previously diagnosed as interdigital tinea pedis and treated with oral and topical antifungals without improvement. He complained of bromhidrosis and malodour. During the physical examination we observed scaling, maceration, and exudative erosions on the interdigital spaces. The lesion exhibits coral-red fluorescence under Wood's lamp (Figure). Corynebacterium minutissimum was detected by Gram staining of skin scrapings from the infected site, showing clusters of long, large bacillus such as are com...

Erosio interdigitalis blastomycetica: A review of interdigital candidiasis
Erosio interdigitalis blastomycetica (EIB) is a Candida infection affecting the third web space, between the third and fourth fingers. In 1915, Gougerot and Goncea first described saccharomycetic organisms isolated from the hands and feet. Johannes Fabry later named it in 1917, well before the genus Candida was introduced in 1923. EIB is most common among those who work with their hands frequently in water, such as dishwashers, launderers, bartenders, and homemakers. Clinical presentation most commonly consists of a central erythematous erosion surrounded by a rim of white macerated skin involving at least one interdigital...

LB1491 High prevalence of erythrasma in patients with inverse psoriasis: A cross-sectional study
Inverse psoriasis is characterized by erythematous non-scaly plaques in intertriginous regions. Similarly, erythrasma, a superficial infection caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum, is also found in skin folds with red-brown to erythematous lesions. No studies have previously determined if these two similar cutaneous disorders can occur concurrently. Thirty patients with clinically diagnosed inverse psoriasis were evaluated to determine the prevalence of erythrasma in psoriatic lesions. The presence of this bacterium was identified by coral red fluorescence with Wood ’s light examination. (Source: Journal of Investigative Dermatology)

Airborne microbial communities in the atmospheric environment of urban hospitals in China
Publication date: 5 May 2018 Source:Journal of Hazardous Materials, Volume 349 Author(s): Xin-Lei Gao, Ming-Fei Shao, Qing Wang, Li-Tao Wang, Wen-Yan Fang, Feng Ouyang, Ji Li Clinically relevant antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in bioaerosols have become a greater threat to public health. However, few reports have shown that ARB and ARGs were found in the atmosphere. High-throughput sequencing applied to environmental sciences has enhanced the exploration of microbial populations in atmospheric samples. Thus, five nosocomial bioaerosols were collected, and the dominant mic...

Erythrasma: In vitro antimicrobial activity of two topical antiseptic products against Corynebacterium minutissimum
Erythrasma is a chronic localized skin infection caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum. These bacteria tend to invade the upper third of the stratum corneum and can proliferate under favorable conditions such as heat, humidity and sweating. Erythrasma is frequently located in intertriginous areas or skin folds such as the groin, armpit, and between the toes. Initially the skin lesions are well-defined pink patches covered with fine scales and wrinkling. As the condition progresses, the affected areas become brown and scaly.

Erythrasma: A report of nine men successfully managed with mupirocin 2% ointment monotherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Several topical and oral treatments are available to successfully manage erythrasma. Our series of patients with erythrasma experienced resolution with mupirocin 2% ointment treatment within 2 to 4 weeks of therapy. Monotherapy with mupirocin 2% ointment should be considered as a primary treatment alternative for erythrasma.

Dermatologcal Complaints of the Elderly Attending a Dermatology Outpatient Clinic in Turkey: A Prospective Study over a One-year period
The geriatric population is continuously growing, which leads to more aged patients being admitted to dermatology clinics. The aim of this study is to determine the dermatological complaints of the elderly attending a dermatology outpatient clinic.All of the patients aged 65 years and older admitted to our dermatology outpatient clinic over a 1-year period were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their ages as group I (65-74 years) and group II (≥75 years). The patients were asked about their dermatologic complaints.A total of 240 geriatric patients attended to the dermatology outpatient clinic ove...
