Abstract:
Tinea gladiatorum (TG) is a fungal skin infection that occurs among wrestlers and other contact sport athletes with a varied prevalence rate. The most common causative factor responsible as well for local outbreaks of the infection is an anthropophilic dermatophyte species-Trichophyton tonsurans (T. tonsurans). The purpose of this study was to gather current data about TG, including epidemiology, possible diagnosing methods, clinical features, treatment approaches, and potential prevention techniques. We also performed a systematic review of studies describing TG incidence. The prevalence of the disease varied from 2.4% up to 100%. That wide range of variability forces medical practitioners to update knowledge about TG and points to the fact that it still may be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Spreading awareness among athletes and trainers is one of the most important preventive steps.
摘要:
角癣(TG)是一种真菌性皮肤感染,发生在摔跤手和其他接触运动运动员中,患病率各不相同。引起感染局部爆发的最常见的致病因素是嗜人性皮肤癣菌物种-杜氏毛癣菌(T。Tonsurans)。这项研究的目的是收集有关TG的最新数据,包括流行病学,可能的诊断方法,临床特征,治疗方法,和潜在的预防技术。我们还对描述TG发生率的研究进行了系统评价。该疾病的患病率从2.4%到100%不等。这种广泛的可变性迫使医疗从业者更新关于TG的知识,并指出它仍然可能是诊断和治疗挑战的事实。在运动员和教练中传播意识是最重要的预防措施之一。
