Abstract:
Dermatophyte infections frequently pose diagnostic challenges, especially when occurring alongside ichthyosis, a genetic skin disorder characterized by dry, thickened, scaly skin. This case series outlines three cases where dermatophyte infections overlapped with ichthyosis, emphasizing the complexities in clinical identification and differential diagnosis. Atypical clinical presentations in these cases led to initial misdiagnoses. Ichthyosis, a genetic skin disorder characterized by thickened and scaly skin, creates an environment conducive to dermatophyte settlement, complicating the diagnostic process. The cases highlight the importance of considering fungal infections, even when clinical features deviate from the expected course. A vigilant diagnostic approach, including mycological examinations, is crucial for accurate identification and timely management.
摘要:
皮肤癣菌感染经常构成诊断挑战,尤其是与鱼鳞病同时发生时,一种以干燥为特征的遗传性皮肤病,加厚,鳞状皮肤。本病例系列概述了3例皮肤癣菌感染与鱼鳞病重叠的病例,强调临床识别和鉴别诊断的复杂性。这些病例的不典型临床表现导致最初的误诊。鱼鳞病,一种以皮肤增厚和鳞片状为特征的遗传性皮肤病,创造有利于皮肤癣菌定居的环境,使诊断过程复杂化。这些病例突出了考虑真菌感染的重要性,即使临床特征偏离预期的病程。警惕的诊断方法,包括真菌学检查,对于准确识别和及时管理至关重要。
