Abstract

A premature female presented cutaneous lesions caused by Candida albicans at 12 h after delivery. Her mother carried Candida in the vagina. The lesions extended to face, both sides of the trunk and extremities, including palms and soles, and later to the mouth. The cutaneous manifestations healed in four weeks. It is proposed to use the term "early neonatal cutaneous candidiasis" to designate the forms of candidiasis which appear within the first hours after delivery, and "congenital cutaneous candidiasis" when lesions are present at delivery.

Superficial fungal infections. Getting rid of lesions that don't want to go away.

Systematic analysis of possible dermatophyte and candidal skin infections leads to an accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment with a specific regimen. The first steps are thorough skin examination and evaluation with a potassium hydroxide preparation. Tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, cutaneous candidiasis, and tinea versicolor can be treated with many topical antifungal agents, whereas tinea capitis requires oral griseofulvin therapy. Frequently used topical medications for tinea and candidal infections include clotrimazole (Lotrimin, Mycelex), econazole nitrate (Spectazole), ketoconazole (Nizoral), miconazole nitrate (Monistat-Derm, Micatin), oxiconazole nitrate (Oxistat), and ciclopirox olamine (Loprox). Topical selenium sulfide lotion can also be used for tinea versicolor, which is often a recalcitrant problem.

The spectrum of nail disease in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

There are no known pathognomonic nail signs of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, several presentations should increase the index of suspicion. (1) Proximal white subungual onychomycosis or superficial white onychomycosis, especially of the fingernails, is present. Trichophyton rubrum appears to cause both most commonly in HIV-infected patients. Periungual dermatophyte involvement and involvement of all 10 fingernails is unusual in non-HIV-infected persons. (2) Candida is a primary pathogen of the nail bed and nail plate especially if many nails are involved. (3) A destructive, almost granulomatous-like psoriatic involvement of the nails is present. (4) Squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed in a young adult. There are no clinical trails to confirm the efficacy of therapy mentioned in this article. The treatment suggestions are empirical and are the personal views of the authors.
