About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Dermatophytosis".

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about dermatophytosis, also known as ringworm, which is a fungal infection of the skin, hair, or nails. It is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive in warm and humid environments.

The infection is characterized by a ring-shaped rash on the affected area, which may be itchy or scaly. In some cases, the affected area may also become red or inflamed. Dermatophytosis can affect different parts of the body, including the scalp, feet, groin, and nails.

The infection is usually transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or object, such as towels, clothing, or sports equipment. Risk factors for dermatophytosis include living in crowded or humid conditions, sharing personal items, and having weakened immune systems.

Treatment for dermatophytosis usually involves topical or oral antifungal medications, such as terbinafine or ketoconazole. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices and avoid sharing personal items to prevent the spread of the infection. In some cases, it may take several weeks or months for the infection to fully resolve.

Organisms Fungi Microsporum, Trichophyton Animal pathogens Epidermophyton Human pathogen Classification Zoophilic Anthropophilic Geophilic Center for Food Security and Public Health, Iowa State University, 2011
Slide 5-

Zoophilic Organisms* Microsporum canis M. gallinae M. gypseum M. equinum M. nanum M. persicolor Trichophyton equinum T. mentagrophytes T. simii T. verrucosum Center for Food Security and Public Health, Iowa State University, 2011 *Dermatophytes have two species names: one for the stage found in vertebrate hosts and one for the form that grows in the environment (perfect state). Names shown above represent the former.

Transmission
Slide 11-

Transmission Contact with: Arthrospores Asexual spores formed in the hyphae of the parasitic stage Conidia Sexual or asexual spores formed in the “free-living” environmental stage Center for Food Security and Public Health, Iowa State University, 2011
