Abstract

Background: Tinea faciei, a specific dermatophytosis that affects the glabrous skin of the face, not only causes physical discomfort but also leads to greater psychological distress. Tinea faciei is a public health concern.

Objectives: To analyse the epidemiological characteristics, responsible dermatophyte species and clinical features of tinea faciei in Hangzhou.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Laboratory Information System of the Mycology Laboratory and Medical Information System at a hospital in Hangzhou. Isolates were identified based on their macroscopic appearance and microscopic morphology.

Results: Tinea faciei was diagnosed in 701 patients, involving 359 males and 342 females, aged between 2 months and 97 years. In total, 499 isolates (71.18%) were identified as Trichophyton rubrum. Anthropophilic isolates were identified in 297 (82.73%) males and 207 (60.53%) females (p < .01). Among patients with anthropophilic dermatophytes infection, 447 (88.69%) were adults. Zoophilic dermatophytes were isolated in 57 (15.88%) males and 130 (38.01%) females (p < .01), among whom 108 (57.75%) were children.

Conclusions: Anthropophilic dermatophytes, especially T. rubrum, were the predominant cause of tinea faciei, while zoophilic dermatophytes were the most prevalent in children. Compared with men, women may be more susceptible to zoophilic dermatophytes.

2018年至2023年中国东南部杭州701例天疱疮病例调查。

背景：面部癣菌病是一种影响面部无毛皮肤的特殊皮癣，不仅会引起身体不适，还会导致更大的心理压力。脸癣是一个公共卫生问题：分析杭州市面部癣菌病的流行病学特征、致病皮真菌种类和临床特征：方法：数据来自杭州某医院真菌学实验室的实验室信息系统和医疗信息系统。方法：从杭州某医院真菌学实验室和医学信息系统的实验室信息系统中获取数据，并根据其宏观外观和显微形态对分离菌进行鉴定：结果：701 名患者确诊为天疱疮，其中男性 359 人，女性 342 人，年龄在 2 个月至 97 岁之间。共有 499 个分离株（71.18%）被鉴定为红色毛癣菌。在 297 名男性（82.73%）和 207 名女性（60.53%）中鉴定出了嗜人真菌分离物（P 结论）：嗜人类皮癣菌，尤其是红色毛癣菌，是引起皮肤癣菌病的主要原因，而嗜动物皮癣菌在儿童中最常见。与男性相比，女性可能更容易感染嗜动物皮癣菌。

期刊介绍： The journal Mycoses provides an international forum for original papers in English on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prophylaxis, and epidemiology of fungal infectious diseases in humans as well as on the biology of pathogenic fungi. Medical mycology as part of medical microbiology is advancing rapidly. Effective therapeutic strategies are already available in chemotherapy and are being further developed. Their application requires reliable laboratory diagnostic techniques, which, in turn, result from mycological basic research. Opportunistic mycoses vary greatly in their clinical and pathological symptoms, because the underlying disease of a patient at risk decisively determines their symptomatology and progress. The journal Mycoses is therefore of interest to scientists in fundamental mycological research, mycological laboratory diagnosticians and clinicians interested in fungal infections.
