Two cases of onychomycosis due to Candida zeylanoides.

As the range of yeasts and filamentous fungi reported to cause onychomycosis has increased, uncommon genera or species have appeared in the literature. Candida zeylanoides is an example of a yeast rarely involved in human pathology. Between 1989 and 1991, two cases of onychomycosis due to this yeast were encountered in Wollongong, NSW. There were similarities in the cases, as both involved finger- or thumb-nails and both patients were female (one sixty years of age and the other, seventy-two). Evidence of pathogenicity is presented and subsequent topical treatment was successful in both cases.

A ten year survey on Trichophyton tonsurans: prevalence and strain types in the general community and in aborigines.

During a 10-year period (1976-1986), a set of 154 isolates of T. tonsurans were examined. These were derived from patients in the Illawarra, South Coast and North Coast areas of NSW. The American experience of rapid increase in T. tonsurans infections was not repeated in this survey. There appeared to be good evidence of particular strains of T. tonsurans causing infections almost exclusively in aboriginal patients (96.6%), while other strains substantially caused infections in non-aboriginal patients (78.4%).

Dipylidiasis in a 57-year-old woman.

An interesting case of tapeworm infection in a human caused by Dipylidium caninum was recently diagnosed in the Illawarra area of N.S.W. Since it involved and adult (a 57-year-old woman) and recorded human infections are rare in the Australian literature, it was decided to describe this case of dipylidiasis.
