Correlation of dermoscopic findings with the responsible type of fungi in patients with fungal skin infections

Abstract

The subject of our study is the investigation of possible correlations between dermoscopic signs and the type of the responsible fungi in fungal skin infections. The lack of data in the literature about dermoscopic findings in cases of tinea corporis, urged us to conduct a primary pilot study on clarifying the dermoscopic signs in those cases. The results of this pilot study will be used afterwards in order to answer our main question, the possible link to the responsible type of fungi. Our pilot study has pinpointed the existence of certain dermoscopic signs as predictors in cases of tinea corporis. Peripheral scale distribution, centrifugal peeling direction and the existence of "moth-eaten" scale as positive predictors. On the other hand, patchy vascular arrangement and diffuse presence of scale as negative ones. In terms of correlation of these dermoscopic signs to the responsible fungi, our study couldn’t highlight such a possibility, with the sign of existence of both white and y ...
