Opportunistic Fungus Infections in the Field of Dermatology

Abstract

1. Cutaneous aspergillosis: Examining 36 cases of superficial type the following results were realized. In the initial state, pustules were seen in an overwhelming majority of cases, followed by flare and inflammation. Many infected areas were observed on the back and the thigh. Lying in bed, postoperative sickbed, cast fitting, and perpetual excretion are known to be factors in the induction of opportunistic fungus infection.2. Cutaneous cryptococcosis: Eighteen cases of the primary cutaneous type were examined. Regionally infected areas were observed mainly on the face and the head. In the initial state acne-form papules and pustules were observed. Only 6 cases of basal diseases were seen.3. Cutaneous alternariosis: Infected areas were observed on the face and arms of the type. Symptoms were vermiculated form, and papules and pustules. The cases were not confirmed.4. Cutaneous mucormycosis: Papules, pustules and granuloma were observed on the entire body, limbs, and abdomen in 5 cases. Leukemia, cast fixation and rusty nail wounders were observed as predisposing factors.5. Cutaneous curvulariosis and cutaneous Paecilomyces mycosis are to be studied in the future.
