Onychomycosis, Tinea Pedis and Tinea Manuum Caused by Non‐Dermatophytic Filamentous Fungi Nicht‐Dermatophyten‐Fadenpilze als Erreger von Onychomykosen, Tinea pedis und Tinea manuum
Abstract
Summary: Over 4000 cases of fungal nail, sole and palm infection recorded during a three‐year study period were investigated to determine the prevalence and significance of etiologic agents other than dermatophytes and yeasts. Littman's oxgall agar, which permitted isolation of cycloheximide‐sensitive species but restricted overgrowth by fast growing contaminants, was used to promote isolation of these disease agents. Non‐dermatophytic filamentous fungi made up 2.3 % of the confirmed etiologic agents obtained overall, and constituted 3.3 % of the agents obtained from nail infections. The most common species were Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Hendersonula toruloidea, and Aspergillus sydowii. Scytalidium hyalinum was recorded for the first time from Canada, and an instance of nail infection by Gymnascella dankaliensis was recorded. Only H. toruloidea and Sc. hyalinum caused palm and sole infections. Zusammenfassung: Über 4000 Fälle von Pilzinfektionen der Nägel, Fußsohlen und Handflächen wurden während eines 3 Jahreszeitraumes auf das Vorkommen von Nicht‐Dermatophyten‐Fadenpilzen als Erreger untersucht. Zur Isolierung dieser Pilze wurde Littmans Rindergalle‐Agar benutzt, der die Isolierung Cycloheximidempfindlicher Arten erlaubt, jedoch das Überwuchern durch schnellwachsende Kontaminanten verhindert. Nicht‐Dermatophyten‐Fadenpilze machten 2,3% der nachgewiesenen Gesamterreger und 3,3 % der Erreger von Nagelinfektionen aus. Die häufigsten Arten waren Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Hendersonula toruloidea und Aspergillus sydowii. Scytalidium hyalinum wurde dabei zum erstenmal in Canada nachgewiesen, weiterhin wurde eine durch Gymnascella dankuliensis verursachte Nagelmykose gefunden. H. toruloidea und Sc. hyalinum waren bei Palrnar‐ und Plan‐tarinfektionen alleinige Erreger.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
