Dermatomycetes

Dermatomycetes, or dermatophytes, are a group of fungi that can cause various diseases of the skin and nails. These fungi are part of the normal microflora of the skin, but under certain conditions they can begin to grow and multiply, causing various diseases.

Dermatomycetes can be both harmful and beneficial to humans. Some can cause skin infections such as ringworm, while others can be used medicinally to treat fungal infections. However, many dermatomycetes are dangerous to health, especially for people with weakened immune systems or for children.

Symptoms of dermatomycetes may include itching, redness, peeling and blistering of the skin. They can also cause changes in the color and structure of the nails, as well as their deformation.

Antifungal drugs such as griseofulvin, itraconazole or terbinafine are used to treat dermatomycetes. These drugs can be used either orally or topically, depending on the type and severity of the disease.

However, to prevent the development of dermatomycetes, it is necessary to maintain hygiene and monitor the condition of the skin and nails, especially in cases of increased risk of infection. It is also important to maintain good personal hygiene, not to share towels and bed linen, and not to share clothes and shoes with other people.

Dermatophytes are fungi that can cause diseases of the skin and its derivatives. General characteristics: Immersed in the stratum corneum of the epidermis of the body, fungi live intracellularly (clad in endospores). They have branching hyfoli or filiological threads. From them originate short, weighty branching conidiophores, which extend from the stomata (affected) and spray germ cells onto the surface of the head, forming spores. The shell has cells and a cuticle covering, and the shell-lined cell often has multicellular mycelium with short branching dikinets. Fungal hyphae can be hard, semi-hard or soft. Some ringworms have balloons. For example, Microsporum canis is the most common fungus that causes ringworm of the scalp and smooth skin. The epidermis, covered with the cornea, is initially unaware of the presence of the parasite. The main factor of pathogenicity is the irritation factor. Clinical manifestations of ringworm include the presence of areas of hyperemia, “parchment” cheilosis. The affected area is surrounded by a hyperpigmented ring. There is no pain. Allowed within a few weeks. Epidermitis caused by Microsporon fowlisi - elephantiasis and ring cheila (within 30 minutes). Sowing on a prepassor and culture in three nutrient media allows a correct diagnosis to be made. The cultivation of mushrooms on material from animals and humans (liquid from bark and hair shafts) is due to their presence in animals and humans. Treatment of dermatomycosis is based on local and systemic use of antifungal drugs. The dermatophyte trichophyton has a similar morphology to the fungus that promotes the formation of dandruff. Epidermin is an extremely stable organic substance of the stratum corneum of the skin, so for the fungus it must be destroyed. Doctors use topical antifungal agents and ointments. In the afternoon, the affected area should be degreased. Apply immediately after the rash, when the disease is advanced, the spots are pink-gray. In people, rashes are usually isolated. Typically caused by chronic dermatitis. They look like small, scaly, grouped spots. Tests of affected tissue indicate the presence of a fungus that is difficult to identify. More
