Existence of ornamentations on macroconidia and hyphae of Epidermophyton floccosum.

The surface features of cell walls of several recent clinical isolates of Epidermophyton floccosum were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Macroconidia from each of our isolates displayed excrescences on the wall which were similar in their location and in their substructural appearance. We believe these irregularities sufficiently developed to regard them as true wall ornamentations. Comparisons were made with wall features of the macroconidia of Microsporum persicolor. In some cases, our Epidermophyton isolates possessed warty as well as secondary smooth spiral hyphae. The demonstration of these structures in recent isolates might imply that some sexual activity persists so that discovery of a teleomorph(s) for the genus Epidermophyton may yet be forthcoming.

Dermatophytosis due to Trichophyton rubrum in northern Greece during the decade 1981-1990.

During the years 1981-1990 Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequent causative agent of dermatophytic infections in Northern Greece, especially in cases of tinea pedis, cruris, corporis, and unguium, as well as dermatophytosis of the hands. Between sexes there was a prevalence in women in tinea pedis and toenail infections. Men were particularly infected in the groin, the hands and the face. The chronic follicular dermatophytosis in the lower legs was also presented in women, but tinea corporis and fingernail infections showed no significant differences between the sexes. Also studied were the age of the patients, the inflammatory component of the lesions and the morphotypes of T. rubrum isolated.

Dermatophytosis in northern Greece during the decade 1981-1990.

Dermatophytic infections are very common in Greece. In the Mycological Laboratory of the Venereal and Skin Diseases Hospital in Thessaloniki, 6572 isolates of different dermatophytes were obtained from 17,120 patients examined. It is suggested that 5% of the people who present with skin problems in Greece suffer from dermatophyte infections. They are frequent causative agents of tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, tinea capitis and tinea unguium. In this paper, the species, the number and the prevalence of the dermatophytes were studied according to location and sex of the patients. The contribution of dermatophyte infections to the overall incidence of superficial fungal infection over 10 years was also studied.
