Information
from Your Family Doctor
Tinea Infections: Athlete's Foot, Jock Itch and Ringworm What is tinea?
Tinea is a fungus that can grow on your skin, hair or nails. As it grows, it spreads out in a circle, leaving normal-looking skin in the middle. This makes it look like a ring. At the edge of the ring, the skin is lifted up by the irritation and looks red and scaly. To some people, the infection looks like a worm is under the skin. Because of the way it looks, tinea infection is often called "ringworm." However, there really isn't a worm under the skin. How did I get a fungal infection? You can get a fungal infection by touching a person who has one. Some kinds of fungi live on damp surfaces, like the floors in public showers or locker rooms. You can easily pick up a fungus there. You can even catch a fungal infection from your pets. Dogs and cats, as well as farm animals, can be infected with a fungus. Often this infection looks like a patch of skin where fur is missing. What areas of the body are affected by tinea infections? Fungal infections are named for the part of the body they infect. Tinea corporis is a fungal infection of the skin on the body. ("Corporis" is the Latin word for body.) If you have this infection, you may see small, red spots that grow into large rings almost anywhere on your arms, legs or chest.

Case Reports
Introduction
In 1978, Titche presented a search of 110 cases, including 25 cases from the Sudan, where a particularly aggressive form of the disease was seen. Aspergillus flavus was the most common cause. Fungal sinusitis has emerged as a more vital health problem in modern times because of increased travel into and out of endemic areas, immune deficient states such as AIDS, immunosuppression for transplantation and from chemotherapy, and the more prevalent use of long-term, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Poorly-controlled diabetes remains a problem. However, improved means of clinical detection and laboratory diagnosis have more clearly identified affected individuals. Mycology
Fungi are found mainly in air, dust, soil, plants, and decaying organic matter. They adhere to dust particles and are inhaled and deposited on the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa. The warm, moist environment of the upper respiratory tract is an ideal environment for the proliferation of these organisms. However, they are rarely pathogenic because host resistance is high except under favorable growth conditions in highly susceptible individuals. Fungi are closely related to bacteria. They possess a unique property called dimorphism, meaning that they may exist both as a spore form and as a branching, mycelial form, depending on environmental conditions. There is a wide range of morphologic types. The presence or absence of segmentations or septa of the hyphae often distinguishes the species. The hyphae branch like a tree from a central stem or from a common node such as Rhizopus. The terminal buds may exhibit a spherical sporangia or are arrayed in clusters like the conidiophores of Aspergillus. These fungi grow best on Sabouraud's agar. They are, however, difficult to grow and it may take weeks to produce identifiable colonies. The most commonly seen mycotic organisms in the Western world are Aspergillus, Mucor, Rhizopus, and Alternaria.

(See also Ch. 158.
Etiology
Fungal infections of the urinary tract primarily affect the bladder and kidneys. Candida sp, the most common cause, are normal commensals of humans and are frequently recovered from the oral cavity, GI tract, vagina, and damaged skin. However, all invasive fungi (eg, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus sp, Mucoraceae sp, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis) may infect the kidneys as part of systemic or disseminated mycotic infection. Lower UTI with Candida is mainly due to local urinary catheters. In general, most Foley catheter-related fungal infection follows bacteriuria and antibiotic therapy, although Candida and bacterial infections frequently occur simultaneously. Renal candidiasis is usually spread hematogenously and commonly originates from the GI tract. Ascending infection from nephrostomy tubes, other permanent indwelling devices, and stents also occurs. At high risk are patients who are immunocompromised because of neoplasm, AIDS, chemotherapy, or immunosuppressive drugs. A major nosocomial source of candidemia in such patients is an indwelling intravascular catheter. Renal transplantation increases the risk because of the combination of indwelling catheters, stents, antibiotics, anastomotic leaks, obstruction, and immunosuppressive therapy.

Physicians and medical students from around the world can now access a new interactive web-based guide developed at MIT for understanding and managing invasive fungal infections, including those that attack AIDS patients. "Creating this educational tool is a response to the recent increase in life-threatening fungal infections due to the rise of people with immunosuppressed diseases such as AIDS and, ironically, the increase in transplantation successes," said Dr. Robert H. Rubin, the project's editor in chief and director of the Center for Experimental Pharmacology and Therapeutics at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST). "The availability of new antifungal drugs for treatment and the development of new diagnostic methods and strategies for controlling the disease was also a determining factor in developing this course," added Rubin, who is also associate director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital.

    Message Board Top100 Sites ... SunSmart Fungal Infections - Give Fungal Infections the All Clear One of the main reasons people find tinea infections don't clear up is because they don't use their medicines long enough.
    "Most tinea infections need treatment for one to two weeks or sometimes more, but they should also be treated for a minimum of one week after the infection has cleared," recommend Self Care pharmacists.
    Many people know they are suffering from a yeast infection, jock itch or athletes foot, but never really realised that these are all different types of fungal infections. Most fungal infections are commonly called tinea. You can get tinea infections on your body (for example ringworm, jock itch), or on your feet, nails or scalp.
    Another tinea infection, called pityriasis versicolor, affects the skin on the trunk of the body, especially the back. It can also spread to the neck, arms or stomach. When people tan in summer the affected parts remain as whitish patches on their body and they may often wonder what this is.
    There are also other fungal infections like oral thrush (in the mouth) or nappy rash.

    Fungal infections of the foot are remarkably common, affecting about 15% of people in the UK. Topical fungicides, some available without prescription from chemists, are the first treatment option. When they fail, oral fungicides can be tried. Two systematic reviews tell us how effective these are.
    Systematic reviews
    Both systematic reviews [1,2] had a wide search strategy for randomised trials. As well as at least 10 electronic databases, several journals were hand searched and companies and schools of podiatry in the UK were asked for unpublished trials. For skin infections, only trials that used microscopy and culture were included. The outcome was cure rate at follow up from the reported mycological results, with negative results on microscopy and no growth on culture.
    Results for topical azoles
    Twelve trials with more than 10 patients in both treatment groups compared azoles with placebo (Figure 1). Usually treatment was for four to six weeks, and follow up for four to 10 weeks.

    Public Outreach Manager, Biological Resources
    Fish Health, Fungal Infections, and Pfiesteria : The Role of the U.S. Geological Survey Problem The increasing incidence of fish-health problems, ranging from small external sores and lesions to large-scale fish kills, is of growing concern in the Chesapeake Bay and other Mid-Atlantic estuaries. Fish kills have been reported in North Carolina since the early 1990's. Reports of skin lesions on fish in the summer and fall of 1996 and 1997 in the Pocomoke River, Maryland, and other tributaries of Chesapeake Bay stimulated a great deal of public and scientific interest. These skin lesions ranged from small pinpoint hemorrhages to abrasions to deep ulcers. In addition, there were two fish kills, involving primarily Atlantic menhaden, in the Pocomoke River during August 1997. The fish kills, as well as the variety of fish lesions, have been blamed on the presence of a toxic dinoflagellate, Pfiesteria piscicida , or Pfiesteria -like dinoflagellates.

    Once rare, systemic fungal infections are becoming increasingly common in hospital settings. Patients most at risk include transplant and chemotherapy patients, HIV patients, elderly patients and patients with compromised immune systems. Some of the most common blood-borne fungal infections are aspergillosis, candidiasis and cryptococcosis. Fortunately, many systemic fungal infections can be effectively treated with currently available therapeutics.
