Sbl3: Cutaneous Fungal Infections, Nnalue

Front 1

three types of fungal diseases

Back 1

mycotoxicoses
hypersensitivity diseases
colonization/infection

Front 2

fungal infections of the stratum corneum w/ little or no inflammatory response

Back 2

superficial mycoses

Front 3

4 types of superficial mycoses

Back 3

tinea (pityriasis) versicolor
tinea nigra
black piedra
white piedra

Front 4

brown/black macules on palms and/or soles

superficial and asymptomatic

no host immune response

caused by Exophiala wernickii

Back 4

Tinea Nigra

Front 5

scaly hypo- or hyperpigmented patches on neck, torso, and limbs

infection largely cosmetic

caused by Malassezia furfur

Back 5

Tinea (pityriasis) versicolor

Front 6

superficial fungal infection that appears as cream, yellow or beige nodules along the hair shaft

caused by Trichosporon sp.

Back 6

White piedra

Front 7

fungal infection of scalp hair causing hard, gritty, brown/black nodules firmly attached to hair shaft

caused by Piedraia hortae

Back 7

black piedra

Front 8

three genera of dermatophytes

they produce keratinase

transmission can be anthropophilic, zoophilic, or geophilic

Back 8

Trichophyton
Microsporum
Epidermophyton

Front 9

infection that is commonly called ringworm

caused by dermatophyte fungi

Back 9

tinea

Front 10

dermatophytosis of the glabrous skin of the face, trunk, and limbs

zoophilic and geophilic varieties are apt to cause inflammatory lesions

prevalent in warm, humid climates

Back 10

tinea corporis (ringworm of body)

Front 11

dermatophytosis of the plantar surface of the feet and toe webs

most common pathogens are T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes

Back 11

tinea pedis (athlete's foot)

Front 12

dermatophytosis of the medial upper thighs and the inguinal, pubic, perineal, and perianal areas

most common pathogen is T. rubrum

Back 12

tinea cruris (jock itch)

Front 13

hyphal invasion of scalp spreads to hair follicle

caused by Microsporum and Trichophyton species

acute inflammation of hair follicle (favus)

Back 13

tinea capitis

Front 14

dermatophytosis of the facial beard area of men

most common agents are T. mentagrophytes and T. verrucosum

Back 14

tinea barbae

Front 15

common pathogen involved in fungal infection of the nail (tinea unguim)

Back 15

Trichophyton rubrum

Front 16

most common locations for subcutaneous mycoses

Back 16

hands, feet, arms, legs

introduction following trauma

Front 17

fungus found in soil, introduced into skin following trauma (eg. rose thorn)

causes chronic nodular and ulcerative lesions

bug?

Back 17

lymphocutaneous sporothrichosis

Sporothrix schenckii

Front 18

chronic, localized cutaneous to subcutaneous infection causing warty nodules at inoculation site w/ "cauliflower like" appearance

Back 18

chromoblastomycosis

Front 19

fungal infections that fluoresce under UV light during Wood's lamp exam

2 other tests used in diagnosis of superficial and cutaneous mycoses

Back 19

Microsporum spp.

KOH prep and culture

Front 20

treatment of superficial mycoses

Back 20

treat w/ topical agents (cream or shampoo)

Front 21

characteristic triad of indurated swelling, multiple sinus tracts, and localization on foot

Back 21

mycetoma

Front 22

treatment of cutaneous mycoses:
1) tinea corporis
2) tinea capitis and barbae
3) onychomycosis
4) hair infections

Back 22

1) topical allylamines
2) systemic treatment
3) systemic treatment
4) oral griseofulvin

Front 23

treatment of subcutaneous mycoses:
1) sporotrichosis
2) chromomycosis
3) mycetoma

Back 23

1) saturated solution of KI
2) 5-fluorocytosine
3) varies (amphothericin B or aoles)
