Berg D, Erickson P. Fungal skin infections in children: new developments and treatments. Postgrad Med 2001;110(1):83-94 F ungal skin disorders are common and represent a significant component of any primary care practice that involves children. Fungi are ubiquitous organisms capable of colonizing almost any environment, including virtually all humans. They grow in irregular masses and can be broadly divided into two basic forms: molds and yeasts. Molds are made up of long, multinucleated filaments, or hyphae, that grow continuously at the apical tip. By comparison, yeasts spend the main phase of their life cycle as a unicellular organism, and they usually reproduce by budding.

INTRODUCTION Photodynamic treatment (PDT) refers to the use of light-activated agents called photosensitizers. On irradiation with light of a proper wavelength, photosensitizers can initiate a photochemical reaction resulting in the production of singlet oxygen (^sup 1^O^sub 2^), which can react with cellular components. The sequence of events is termed photodynamic effect and can result in tissue destruction (1,2).

Tinea Pedis - Athlete's Foot
Fungus infections are named for the part of the body they infect. Tinea corporis is a fungus infection of the skin on the body (corporis is the Latin word for body). If you have this infection, you may see small, red spots that grow into large rings almost anywhere on your arms, legs or chest. When a fungus grows in the moist, warm area of the groin, the rash is called tinea cruris. (Cruris comes from the Latin for leg.) The common name for this infection is "jock itch." Tinea cruris often occurs in men, especially if they often wear athletic equipment. Tinea capitis, which is usually called "ringworm," causes itchy, red areas, usually on the head (capitis comes from the Latin for head). The hair is destroyed, leaving bald patches. This tinea infection is most common in children. Tinea pedis is usually called "athlete's foot" (Pedis is a Latin word for foot). The fungus lives on the skin and breeds under warm, moist conditions. Athlete's foot is more common during hot weather and sweaty footwear is usually the culprit. Adult males suffer most often from this condition. The fungus most commonly attacks the feet because shoes create a warm, dark, and humid environment which encourages fungus growth.

References Tinea pedis is a chronic fungal infection of the feet, very often observed in patients who are immuno-suppressed or have diabetes mellitus. The practicing allergist may be called upon to treat this disease for various reasons. Sometimes tinea infection may be mistaken for atopic dermatitis or allergic eczema. In other patients, tinea pedis may complicate allergy and asthma and may contribute to refractory atopic disease. Patients with recurrent cellulitis may be referred to the allergist/immunologist for an immune evaluation and discovered to have tinea pedis as a predisposing factor. From a molecular standpoint, superficial fungal infections may induce a type2 T helper cell response (Th2) that can aggravate atopy. Th2 cytokines may induce eosinophil recruitment and immunoglobulin E (IgE) class switching by B cells, thereby leading to exacerbation of atopic conditions. Three groups of fungal pathogens, referred to as dermatophytes, have been shown to cause tinea pedis:

"Tinea" refers to a skin infection with a dermatophyte (ringworm) fungus. Depending on which part of the body is affected, it is given a specific name. Sometimes, the name gives a different meaning.
  • Tinea versicolor , also more accurately called Pityriasis versicolor, a common yeast infection on the trunk Tinea incognito when the clinical appearance has changed because of inappropriate treatment Tinea nigra affects the palms or soles which appear brown (on white skin) or black (on dark skin)

Fungal Skin / Nail Infection
Signs, symptoms and indicators
Treatment recommendations Fungal infections are caused by microscopic organisms (fungi) that can live on the skin. They can live on the dead tissues of the hair, nails, and outer skin layers. Fungal infections include mold-like fungi (dermatophytes, which cause tinea infections) and yeast-like fungi (such as Candida Heat and humidity bring excess moisture and sweating to our bodies, creating the perfect environment for fungi to grow or fungal infections to develop. Fungi tend to thrive in warm, moist places, such as between the toes, in the groin, under the breasts, and other parts of the body. Cutaneous candidiasis is called Intertrigo when occuring under heavy skin folds.
Fungi are yeasts and molds that can infect and live in the topmost layer of the skin. Fungal infections of the skin may affect the feet, groin, scalp, nails and other parts of the body. Some fungal infections can be difficult to recognize because they may cause no symptoms or only cause slight redness and dryness. Other fungal infections may cause itching, swelling, blistering and severe scaling or dry flaky skin.
One of every five persons gets a fungal infection at some time. You can get a fungal infection by touching a person who has one. Some types of fungus live on damp surfaces such as the floors in public showers or locker rooms. You can even catch a fungal infection from one of your pets. Sometimes, the clothes we wear encourage fungi to develop, such as tight-fitting socks or close-fitting clothing.
