Bioscientia Medicina : Journal of Biomedicine and Translational Research 8, no. 10 (2024): 5006–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.37275/bsm.v8i10.1080.
Full textAbstract:
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, has had multiple impacts on human health, including its potential influence on the manifestation and severity of skin diseases such as superficial mycoses. This study aims to analyze the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the clinical characteristics of superficial mycosis in patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This analytical observational study included 150 patients with laboratory-confirmed superficial mycoses. Demographic data, medical history, SARS-CoV-2 infection status (based on RT-PCR results), and clinical characteristics of superficial mycoses were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Of the 150 patients studied, 75 patients had a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. No significant differences were found in the distribution of gender, age, and location of superficial mycosis infections between the groups of patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection tended to have a higher severity of superficial mycosis (p < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant difference in the type of agent causing superficial mycosis between the two groups (p < 0.01). Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection may influence the clinical manifestations of superficial mycoses, especially in terms of disease severity. These findings support the importance of monitoring and management of superficial mycoses in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Full textAbstract:
Aim. Study the epidemiological situation regarding the prevalence of skin, hair or nails superficial mycoses in 15 districts of the Greater Caucasus of Azerbaijan for the period from 2000 to 2012.
 Methods. Such indicators as the number of patient visits, periodic screening examinations and admissions were analyzed using the current and archived medical records of the Municipal Center for Skin and Sexually transmitted diseases №1, Republican Center for Skin and Sexually transmitted diseases, Republican Paediatric Center for Skin and Sexually transmitted diseases №3 of the Azerbaijan Republic. Skin superficial mycoses were diagnosed after laboratory (microscopic) verification of fungal mycelium presence. Intensive indicators were calculated, such as the prevalence of skin superficial mycoses and the number of patient visits due to skin superficial mycoses.
 Results. The prevalence of the skin superficial mycoses has increased in the Greater Caucasus of Azerbaijan area at the examined period (2000 to 2012) since 2004, with the prevalence peaks in 2007, 2009 and 2011. Men were twice (61.54%) more commonly affected compared to women (38.06%). The highest prevalence of skin superficial mycoses was registered in age groups of 0-10 (38.69%) and 11-20 (20.83%) years, the main diagnosis were «scalp mycosis» (27.98%) and «tinea versicolor» (22.62%). The prevalence of skin candidiasis (1.19±0.84%), onychomycosis (4.17±1.54%), tinea cruris (5.36±1.74%), combined scalp and glabrous skin mycosis (5.95±1.83%), athlete’s foot (8.93±2.20%), «Kerion» lesions (10.71±2.39%), glabrous skin mycosis (13.10±2.60%) increased. The prevalence of skin superficial mycoses was the highest in 2011 - 1.980±0.388%, the number of patient visits due to skin superficial mycoses - 0.712±0.140%; in 2007 the following numbers were 1.911±0.390% and 0.607±0.124% respectively, in 2009 - 1.637±0.357% and 0.537±0.117%, duplicating the prevalence peaks. High prevalence of superficial dermatomycoses was seen in Khizi and Ismailli Districts, the lowest - in Balakan, Qusar, Oghuz, Shaki Districts. Conclusions. In the current social and economic conditions, the system of complex examination (cultures, microscopy) of patients with skin mycoses is required, as well as the program of targeted preventive measures and improvement of medical and social aid management.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the problem of allergic bronchopulmonary mycoses, which occur in children much more often than they are diagnosed. Their treatment is a challenge, and the prognosis is very problematic. In addition to the most frequent cause of Aspergillus, allergic bronchopulmonary mycoses can be caused by various fungi. The clinical example demonstrates the difficulty of diagnosing and treating a child with allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis caused by a rare type of filamentous fungi Paecilomyces lilacinus.

Full textAbstract:
Fungal threats to public health, food security, and biodiversity have escalated, with a significant rise in mycosis cases globally. Around 300 million people suffer from severe fungal diseases annually, while one-third of food crops are decimated by fungi. Vertebrate, including livestock, are also affected. Our limited understanding of fungal virulence mechanisms hampers our ability to prevent and treat cattle mycoses. Here we aim to bridge knowledge gaps in fungal virulence factors and the role of melanin in evading bovine immune responses. We investigate mycosis in bovines employing a PRISMA-based methodology, bioinformatics, and data mining techniques. Our analysis identified 107 fungal species causing mycoses, primarily within the Ascomycota division. Candida, Aspergillus, Malassezia, and Trichophyton were the most prevalent genera. Of these pathogens, 25% produce melanin. Further research is required to explore the involvement of melanin and develop intervention strategies. While the literature on melanin-mediated fungal evasion mechanisms in cattle is lacking, we successfully evaluated the transferability of immunological mechanisms from other model mammals through homology. Bioinformatics enables knowledge transfer and enhances our understanding of mycosis in cattle. This synthesis fills critical information gaps and paves the way for proposing biotechnological strategies to mitigate the impact of mycoses in cattle.

Aim. To conduct epidemiological analysis of the incidence of dermatomycosis (superficial mycoses of skin and its appendages) in the Republic of Azerbaijan during 2000-2016, as well as clinical epidemiological monitoring during 2011-2016.
 Methods. Analysis of incidence of visits was performed in the Republican dermato-venerologic clinic, children's republican dermato-venerologic dispansary №3, city dermato-venerologic dispansary №1 of the Republic of Azerbaijan according to the forms of state statistical observation №9 («Information about predominantly sexually transmitted diseases, fungal skin infections and scabies») approved by the decree of Azerbaijan State Statistical Commission No. 72/5 issued on 04.12.2000. Clinical analysis of dermatomycosis incidence during 2011-2016 was performed based on the results of laboratory (microscopic) verification of mycelium of the fungus.
 Results. During 2000-2016 in the Republic of Azerbaijan steady increase of the incidence of superficial mycoses of skin and its appendages was observed. In 2000 the incidence was 2783. In 2016, 12 630 cases were recorded, which is the peak value and is 4.5 times higher than in 2000. Clinical analysis of incidence of superficial mycoses of skin and its appendages in 2011-2016 demonstrated that the diagnosis of pityriasis versicolor (keratomycosis) took the leading place (33.5%). The second place in the prevalence was taken by smooth skin mycoses (32.7%), the third place - by candidiasis (skin and visible mucous membranes - 17.1%), the fourth place - by onychomycosis (14.5%), and the last place - by mycosis of the scalp and face (2.2%). Young population (10-20 years) is susceptible to keratomycosis, and adult population (30-50 years) - to smooth skin mycosis. We suggest that it is related to climate-geographic features, increased insolation, and as a result - to sweating and to disordered lipid-alkaline protective skin barrier. To confirm our hypothesis further investigation is necessary.
 Conclusion. Incidence of superficial mycoses of skin and its appendages, increased by 4.5 times was revealed; the leading position in prevalence is taken by pityriasis versicolor, the second - by smooth skin mycoses and the third - by skin and visible mucous membranes candidiasis.

Introduction. When analyzing constantly incoming information, it becomes clear that the growing risk of co-infections with a new coronavirus infection is the main threat of complications leading to death.Aim. A significant part of the information is the data accumulated by specialists on co-infections with systemic mycoses, which often causes a fatal outcome in coronavirus infection.Material and methods. In study systematized information about systemic mycoses in case of coronavirus infection, diagnosed according to the data of medical institutions in Vladivostok, specializing in the treatment of patients with a new coronavirus infection in the period from autumn 2020 to spring 2021.The results of a survey of 200 patients with a new coronavirus infection who were diagnosed with ventilator-associated pneumonia were studied.Results and discussion. Systemic mycoses in patients with COVID-19 do not create a relatively new situation: fungal-bacterial or viral-fungal co-infections were described even during the H1N1 or H7N9 influenza outbreaks. Almost all patients were treated with corticosteroids at high doses causing immunosuppression, which in turn contributed to the development of systemic mycosis. 26% (52 patients) were diagnosed with systemic mycoses, where the leading pathogens were fungi of the genus Aspergillus: A. niger, A terreus, A. fumigatus. The second place (15%, 30 patients) was occupied by representatives of the genus Candida, where C. albicans prevailed. All patients with diagnosed mycoses who were on treatment were prescribed, among other things, antimycotic therapy (voriconazole, fluconazole, caspofungin). However, all patients had a lethal outcome, which was determined by the combination of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and, ultimately, by the development of systemic mycosis, including the presence of concomitant pathology that determines the development of the infectious process.Conclusions. In the event of novel coronavirus infection, identification of associations of SARS-CoV-19 virus and other viruses combined with fungi also requires early clinical evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Superficial mycosis is a common fungal infection worldwide, mainly caused by dermatophytes. However, the prevalence of species varies geographically. In addition, fungal treatment is best guided according to species isolated. This study was carried out to determine the clinical as well as mycological profile of superficial mycoses in a tertiary care hospital, Nepal.Methods. This was a prospective case-control laboratory based study conducted over a period of six months from January to June 2014 at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal. A total of 200 specimens were collected from the patients suspected of superficial mycoses. The specimens were macroscopically as well as microscopically examined. The growth was observed up to 4 weeks.Results.Out of total 200 specimens from the patients suspected of superficial mycoses, tinea corporis 50 (25%) was most common clinical types. KOH mount was positive in 89 (44.5%) and culture was positive in 111 (55.5%).Trichophyton mentagrophytes44 (39.6%) was the most common isolate.Conclusions.The diagnostic yields of KOH mount and culture were found to be complementary to each other. Thus both the methods added with clinical findings are equally important to establish superficial mycosis.

Full textAbstract:
The literature review focuses on epidemiological aspects of the spread of particularly dangerous mycoses across the world (coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis). Forecast of morbidity rates for the next few years is provided too. Out of all endemic mycoses, coccidioidomycosis, endemic for North America regions, poses the most dangerous threat. In case of the infection, complications are most likely to arise, including the dissemination of the process in immunocompromised persons. Histoplasmosis is also classed as particularly dangerous mycosis. It affects both humans and animals. It is endemic for North, Central and South America, as well as Asia and Australia. The most studied endemic areas of infection with blastomycosis are in the territory of North America, while paracoccidioidomycosis is endemic for Latin America countries. Analysis of academic publications on particularly dangerous mycoses over the last three years testifies to the increase in their morbidity rates around the world. This situation is associated, primarily, with the increment in the number of immunocompromised subjects. An important stage in the improvement of the agent diagnostics is introduction of advanced methods for early diagnostics of mycoses, in particular, molecular-genetic and genome sequencing tools. It could also allow for the detection of patients beyond the limits of endemic foci.
