Dermatophytes• Named for derma “skin”
• Cause cutaneous mycoses – strictly confined to epidermis and its derivatives (hair and nails)
• All are communicable diseases
• Well adapted to breaking down keratin; termed keratinophiles
• Most diseases are termed “ringworm” or tinea because they develop in circular scaly patches
• Treatments include topical antifungal cream, debridement of skin and UV treatments
• Difficult infections can be treated with griseofulvin; however, this drug is both hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic

Cutaneous mycoses
• infections strictly confined to keratinized epidermis (skin, hair, nails) are called dermatophytoses - ringworm & tinea
• 39 species in the genera Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton
• communicable among humans, animals, & soil
• infection facilitated by moist, chafed skin

Cryptococcus neoformans:Cryptococcosis
• Widespread; associated with birds, and bird guano
• Transmission is through spore inhalation
• Common infection of AIDS, cancer or diabetes patients
• Infection of lung leads to cough, fever, and lung nodules
• Dissemination to meninges and brain can cause severe neurological disturbances and death
• Systemic cryptococcosis requires immediate treatment with amphotericin B and fluconazole over a period of weeks or months

Diagnosis and treatment
• Initially: negative staining of samples to detect encapsulated budding yeast
• Confirmation by pigmentation on birdseed agar
• Birdseed Agar: - Cryptococcus neoformans produces phenol oxidase, which breaks down the substrate resulting in the production of melanin and developing dark brown or black colonies. Other yeasts will appear cream-colored.
• Systemic cryptococcosis requires immediate treatment with amphotericin B and fluconazole over a period of weeks or months

Candida albicans• widespread yeast
• infections can be short -lived, superficial
skin irritations to overwhelming, fatal
systemic diseases
• budding cells of varying size that my form
both elongate pseudohyphae & true hyphae
• forms off-white, pasty colony with a yeasty

Candida albicans
• Normal flora of oral cavity, genitalia, large
intestine or skin of 20% of humans
• Can cause short-lived superficial skin
irritations to fatal systemic disease
• Candidiasis is usually endogenous, but can be
communicable

Candida albicans: Candidiasis• Thrush – occurs as a thick, white, adherent growth on the
mucous membranes of mouth & throat
• Vulvovaginal yeast infection – painful inflammatory
condition of the female genital region that causes
ulceration
• Cutaneous candidiasis – occurs in chronically moist areas
of skin and burn patients
• Esophageal candidiasis – afflicts 70% of AIDS patients,
causing painful bleeding ulcerations, nausea and vomiting
• Treatment: topical antifungals; amphotericin B in systemic
infectionsحصه العديني.أ 17

Diagnosis of Candidiasis
• Presumptive diagnosis by observing
budding yeast cells and pseudohyphae in
specimen
• Culturing on selective and differential yeast
media ie trypan blue media – Candida
appears light blue
• Also rapid yeast identification kits (multiple
biochemical tests)
