Fungal infections in Sudan: An underestimated health problem
PLoS Negl Trop Dis. 2023 Sep 1;17(9):e0011464. doi: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0011464. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFungal diseases are associated with high morbidity and mortality, yet their epidemiology and burden are not well addressed. While deaths probably exceed 1.5 million per year, many cases remain undiagnosed and underreported. Estimating the burden of these diseases is needed for prioritization and implementation of effective control programs. Here we used a model based on population at risk to estimate the burden of serious fungal infections in Sudan. The prevalence of the susceptible population including HIV, TB, ...

A Case of Kerion Celsi due to Trichophyton tonsurans
Med Mycol J. 2023;64(3):73-77. doi: 10.3314/mmj.22-00032.ABSTRACTThe patient was a 13-year-old boy who was a member of the judo club at his junior high school. Approximately 1 week prior to his presentation, he developed multiple erythematous pilaris papules on his occipital area and was treated by a local doctor. The erythematous lesions expanded to 10 × 10 cm, showing granulation with drainage and strong spontaneous pain. At this point, he visited our hospital. He was diagnosed with kerion celsi due to Trichophyton tonsurans by fungal examination. The patient was treated with terbinafine (125 mg/day) for 6 weeks, and a ...

Trichophyton tonsurans Infection
Med Mycol J. 2023;64(3):49-54. doi: 10.3314/mmj.23-001.ABSTRACTTrichophyton tonsurans infection has been prevalent among individuals involved in contact sports in Japan since about 2000. The present review focuses on its diagnosis, molecular epidemiology, drug susceptibility, and infection control. The most commonly observed lesions of T. tonsurans, an anthropogenic dermatophyte, are tinea corporis and tinea capitis. However, the presence of asymptomatic carriers must be considered for infection control. Genotypic epidemiology using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) in the non-transcribed spacer (NTS) region...
