报道1例由多重耐药申克孢子丝菌引起的面部孢子丝菌病。患者61岁男性,面部皮疹2 a余,先后口服伊曲康唑、特比萘芬和氟康唑治疗16个月无效。患者皮损经真菌镜检和培养确诊为孢子丝菌病,分离的申克孢子丝菌体外药敏试验显示其菌丝相和酵母相对上述三种药物均不敏感。给予患者口服10%碘化钾溶液治疗3个月获得痊愈。     

难辨认孢子丝菌病临床分析

探讨孢子丝菌病不典型的临床表现.孢子丝菌病是皮肤科常见的一种深部真菌病,典型的皮肤科特征是慢性肉芽肿、溃疡性损害、炎性结节等.而部分孢子丝菌病的患者由于各种各样的原因导致皮损丧失特征性临床表现,给皮肤科医生尤其是临床经验尚不丰富的年轻医师于该病的诊断带来了一定的困难.本文所讨论的8例患者均为就诊于我科门诊并已确诊为孢子丝菌病病例,皮损与典型的孢子丝菌病皮损表现不相符,希望皮肤科医师在以后的临床工作中遇到一些不典型皮损但是综合患者病史、生活环境、诊治过程等情况可考虑到此种疾病,及时给予明确的诊断,使患者能够得到及时、有效的治疗.

1例皮肤播散型孢子丝菌病的分离菌株的基因鉴定

孢子丝菌病是由申克孢子丝菌及其卢里变种感染引起的皮肤、皮下组织和附近淋巴系统的亚急性和慢性感染,偶可播散至全身引起多系统损害。该病遍布全世界,我国孢子丝菌病主要是由申克孢子丝菌引起。孢子丝菌一般生存在土壤和植物上,人的皮肤接触带菌植物或土壤后可引起感染。临床上主要表现为固定型和淋巴管型孢子丝菌病,皮肤播散型孢子丝菌病少见。现认为机体感染申克孢子丝菌引起的不同的临床型别与机体免疫状态、申克孢子丝菌的致病力及其基因差异相关[1-2]。我

Sporotrichosis Successfully Treated with Terbinafine and Potassium Iodide: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Sporotrichosis is rare in Turkey. We report a 40-year-old woman who had subcutaneous sporotrichosis caused by sporothrix schenckii that was successfully treated with terbinafine (250 mg, twice a day) for a period of 6 months. She received a saturated solution of potassium iodide orally for two months. Terbinafine and potassium iodide are suggested to be the agents of choice for treatment of subcutaneous sporotrichosis.     

Laboratory-acquired sporotrichosis.

A case of laboratory-acquired sporotrichosis was diagnosed by immunofluorescence and by culture. The patient was then cured by treatment with oral potassium iodide. The need to handle cultures of Sporothrix schenckii with due caution is stressed.     

Unknown fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis

Sporotrichosis is the most frequent subcutaneous mycosis in Mexico. The clinical forms are commonly described as lympho-cutaneous and cutaneous-fixed. The case of a male patient who developed an eritematous plaque with radial growth is reported. The patient received empirical therapy and topic steroids which modified the clinical picture with vesicles to vesicles, ulcers and blood and honey crusts. Diagnosis of fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis incognito was established by clinical, mycological and histopathological studies. Delayed cellular immunity in vitro and in vivo were normal. The patient received oral itraconazole showing clinical and mycological cure after four months.     

沈阳地区孢子丝菌病48例临床分析

目的探讨孢子丝菌病的发病原因、特点、诊断及治疗。方法对48例孢子丝菌病病例进行调查分析,全部行真菌学检查,部分行病理检查,采用碘化钾、特比萘芬或以碘化钾为基础的联合治疗。结果48例患者有明确外伤史,蚊虫叮咬病史者占总发病人数66.67%。单纯应用碘化钾或以碘化钾为基础的联合治疗8~12周,治愈率均达100%。结论外伤及昆虫叮咬、动物抓伤为本病的重要致病诱因,单纯应用碘化钾或特比萘芬均可治愈,但联合用药起效更快,效果更好。     

Bone sporotrichosis: 41 cases from a reference hospital in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil

BackgroundBone sporotrichosis is rare. The metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro is hyperendemic for zoonotic sporotrichosis and the bone presentations are increasing.MethodsWe studied a retrospective cohort of 41 cases of bone sporotrichosis, diagnosed from 1999–2016. The inclusion criteria was fungal culture isolation from any clinical specimen associated to bone involvement (radiography and/or computed tomography) compatible with fungal osteomyelitis or histopathological findings of bone material compatible with sporotrichosis. Molecular identification was performed when possible.ResultsMale patients represented 58.5% of the cases, with a cohort median age of 43 years. Immunosuppressive conditions were present in 68.3% of the patients, mostly HIV coinfection (51.2%). Multifocal bone involvement (more than one anatomical segment) was diagnosed in 61% of the patients, while 39% presented unifocal involvement. The bones of the hands were the most affected (58.5%), followed by the feet (41.5%) and tibia (26.8%). Multifocal group was characterized by a higher proportion of males (p = 0.0045) with immunosuppressive conditions (p = 0.0014). Amphotericin B followed by oral itraconazole was the main treatment, with a median time of 16.7 months (1.5 to 99.2 months), and cure of 53.7% of the patients (84.6% of immunocompetent and 39.3% of immunocompromised patients). Sequelae occurred in 12.2% of the patients—amputations (7.3%) and ankylosis (4.9%), while 22% died in the course of the disease. Sporothrix brasiliensis was the causative agent in all the 9 (22%) performed cases.ConclusionsBone sporotrichosis is a chronic, challenging condition with prolonged treatment, often with poor results and sequelae.     

Infectious arthritis as the single manifestation of sporotrichosis: serology from serum and synovial fluid samples as an aid to diagnosis

Sporotrichosis is a generally cutaneous, granulomatous, chronic and benign infection. Less frequently the disease may affect the joints. Articular involvement is usually characterized by monoarthritis in the absence of systemic symptoms, generally preceded by skin lesions, and frequently affects immunosuppressed individuals. We describe here the case of a healthy patient presenting knee arthritis without skin lesions, diagnosed as sporotrichosis, and treated with oral itraconazole. Serology used in this case was an invaluable tool for the diagnosis of sporotrichosis arthritis lacking skin lesions.     

Successful Treatment of Canine Sporotrichosis with Terbinafine: Case Reports and Literature Review

Sporotrichosis occurs worldwide, and the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a main endemic area, with a large number of human and animal cases in the last 19 years. This mycosis is more frequently described in cats rather than in dogs. There are a limited number of oral antifungal agents for the treatment of sporotrichosis in animals. In this context, the effectiveness of terbinafine in the treatment of sporotrichosis in humans, as well as the promising results of in vitro susceptibility tests, inspired us to use this drug in the therapy of this mycosis in dogs. We reported for the first time the use of terbinafine in the treatment of two dogs with sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis. Moreover, we provided an overview of therapeutic features of canine sporotrichosis cases reported since the 1960s. One of the dogs presented the fixed cutaneous form of the disease, while the other patient presented hyperemia of the nasal mucosa and respiratory signs only. Terbinafine showed high antifungal activity in vitro against the canine Sporothrix isolates. The dogs were successfully treated with terbinafine, with remission of all clinical signs initially presented. The current reports indicate that this drug can emerge as a therapeutic option for canine sporotrichosis.     

Sporotrichosis After Tattooing Caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis

Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused by pathogenic species of the genus Sporothrix. Since 1998, the number of cases of sporotrichosis due to Sporothrix brasiliensis has grown significantly in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nearly all cases are related to cats as the main source of fungal infection. We report two cases of sporotrichosis following tattoos, a transmission form of S. brasiliensis not yet reported. The first patient, a 22-year-old female, had cutaneous sporotrichosis, fixed form, over a tattoo in her lumbar region. The lesion appeared 12 weeks after she was tattooed. The second patient, a 27-year-old female, had a lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis over a forearm tattoo. The lesion appeared two weeks after she was tattooed. In both cases there was no history of contact with cats or other plausible source of infection. The present study highlights that other non-zoonotic forms of transmission of S. brasiliensis may occur in endemic areas.

     

Acute dacryocystitis: another clinical manifestation of sporotrichosis

Sporotrichosis associated with exposure to domestic cats is hyperendemic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A review of the clinical records at our institute revealed four patients with clinical signs of dacryocystitis and a positive conjunctival culture for Sporothrix who were diagnosed with Sporothrix dacryocystitis. Three patients were children (< 13 years of age) and one patient was an adult. Two patients reported contact with a cat that had sporotrichosis. Dacryocystitis was associated with nodular, ulcerated lesions on the face of one patient and with granulomatous conjunctivitis in two patients; however, this condition manifested as an isolated disease in another patient. All of the patients were cured of the fungal infections, but three patients had chronic dacryocystitis and one patient developed a cutaneous fistula. Sporotrichosis is usually a benign disease, but may cause severe complications when the eye and the adnexa are affected. Physicians, especially ophthalmologists in endemic areas, should be aware of the ophthalmological manifestations and complications of sporotrichosis.
