25
White piedra -A superficial fungal infection of the hair shaft caused by
Trichosporon
26
Infected hair develop
soft greyish-white nodules along the shaft
27
Infections are usually localised
axilla or scalp but may also be seen on facial hairs and sometimes pubic hair.
28
characteristic of white piedra.
The presence of irregular, soft, white or light brown nodules, 1.0-1.5 mm in length, firmly adhering to the hairs
29
Colonies Trichosporon in cultura
white or yellowish to deep cream colored, smooth, wrinkled
30
Black piedra
superficial fungal infection of the hair shaft caused by Piedra hortae,
31
localised to the scalp but may also be seen on
hairs of the beard, moustache and pubic hair.
32
Black piedra mostly affects young adults and epidemics in families have been reported following the
sharing of combs and hairbrushes
33
Direct microscopy: For both
Hairs should be examined using 10% KOH or calcofluor white.
34
Culture
Hair fragments should be implanted onto primary isolation media, like Sabouraud's dextrose agar
35
Colonies of piedra hortae
Dark ,brown to black need 2-3 week to appear
36
Management
1-Shaving the hairs is the simplest method of treatment. 2-Topical application of an imidazole agent may be used to prevent reinfection.
37
Species for Trichosporon most common clinical isolates
1- T.asahl, 2-T. asteroides, 3-T inkin, 4-ovoides
38
Causative agent of black piedra
Piedra hortae
39
Cutaneous Mycoses • These are superficial fungal infections of the skin, hair or nails. •No living tissue is invaded,
skin, hair or nails. •No living tissue is invaded,
40
Dermatophytosis (tinea or ringworm) of the
scalp, glabrous skin, and nails
41
Dermatophytosis cause by
group of fungi known as dermatophytes
42
nutrient source of dermatophytes
utilize keratin
43
ability to utilize keratin as a nutrient source by
enzyme [keratinase
44
disease process in dermatophytosis is unique for two reasons
1-human or animal infection for the survival and dissemination of their species. 2-No living tissue is invaded
45
Tinea cruris (spread the fungus from foot)
Most common in male
46
Tinea cruris refers to dermatophytosis of the proximal medial thighs Thus the usual causative agents are
1-T. rubrum ,2- T. interdigitale 3-E. floccosum.
47
Tinea unguium (dermatophyte onychomycosis) classifieds as
1-Superficial white onychomycosis,surface of nail 2-invasive,subungual (beneath the nail) most common form of dermatophyte onychomycosis
48
The fungus invades:
a) Distal nail bed causing hyperkeratosis of the nail bed and thickening of the nail plate. b) Lateral Subungual onychomycosis begins at the lateral edge of the nail and often spreads to=> entire nail => nail plate. c) Proximal subungual onychomycosis, the fungus invades under the cuticle and infects the proximal causing yellowish-white spots which slowly invade the lunula and then the nail plate.
49
Tinea corporis refer to dermatophytosis glabrous skin caused by
Anthrophophilic such as T.rubrum
50
Tinea corporis spread to other sites by
Geophilic Zoophilic Such as 1-M.gypseum 2-M.canis By contant with contaminated soil ,animal
51
Tinea capitis:refers to dermatophytosis of the scalp. • Three types of in vivo hair invasion are recognised:
1. Ectothrix 2 . Endothrix 3 . Favus
52
Endothrix hair invasion is characterised by hair invasion is characterised by the ,Agent?
1 . development of arthroconidia within the hair shaft only. The cuticle of the hair remains intact 2 . Trichophyton tonsurans and T. violaceum
53
Exothrix hair invasion is characterised by. ,agent?
development of arthroconidia on the outside of the hair shaft. The cuticle of the hair is destroyed Common agents include Microsporum canis, Nannizzia.gypsea, Trichophyton equinum and T. verrucosum.
54
Favus caused by
Trichophyton schoenleinii, produces favus-like- crusts or scutula and corresponding hair loss:b
55
Exothrix
Grey patch ringworm
56
Endothrix
Black dot ringworm
57
Clinical material for dermatophyte
Skin scraping Nail scraping Epilated hair
58
بس نشوف( arthoconidia, hyphae) لنعرف أنها => dermatophyte
59
Direct microscopy for dermatophytosis
: Skin Scrapings, nail scrapings and epilated hairs should be examined using 10% KOH or calcofluor white mounts
60
Culture
Sabouraud dextrose agar containing cycloheximide
61
Treatment of dermatophytosis
Topical antifungal agents if you ineffected ,use systemic therapy
62
Systemic candidiasis is usually seen in
Cell mediated immune deficiency Aggressive cancer treatment Immunosuppression Transplantation Therapy
63
Oropharyngeal candidiasis: including
thrush, glossitis(inflammation of the tongue), stomatitis and angular cheilitis.
64
predisposing factors
The use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, corticosteroids, cytotoxic drugs, and radiation therapy
65
Symptoms of oropharyngeal candidiasis
burning or dryness of the mouth, loss of taste, and pain on swallowing
66
Cutaneous candidiasis: including
intertrigo (by friction, moisture), diaper candidiasis, paronychia and onychomycosis
67
Clinical material for candidiasis
Skin and nail scrapings, arine, sputum and bronchial washings, cerebrospinal fluid pleural fluid and blood; tissue biopsies from various visceral organs and indwelling catheter tips
68
Direct microscopy: candidiasis
1 Skin and nails should be examined using 10% KOH or calcofluor white mounts 2 Exudates and body fluids should be centrifuged and the sediment examined using either 10% KOH or calcofluor white mounts and/or gram stained smears 3 Tissue sections should be stained using PAS digest, Grocott's methenamine silver (GMS) or Gram stain
69
Culture candidiasis
Colones are typically white to cream colored with a glabrous to waxy surface (Different colors in Chromogenic media)
70
Serology for candidiasis
Detect for candidiasis antibody by ELISA ,RIA
71
Often neg in immunocompromised patients in beginning infected
