Abstract
We encountered two cases of onychomycosis caused by Aspergillus (A.) subramanianii and A. sclerotiorum. These species belong to the Aspergillus section Circumdati, which is reportedly common in a wide range of habitats. The members of section Circumdati rarely cause onychomycosis. We report the second and fifth cases of A. subramanianii and A. sclerotiorum in the world. Positive findings in dermatophyte antigen kits helped us to diagnose these infections. These isolates were sensitive to ravuconazole, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.5 μg/mL. They were successfully treated with oral fosravuconazole. We discuss 14 cases of onychomycosis caused by Aspergillus section Circumdati.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dermatology is the official peer-reviewed publication of the Japanese Dermatological Association and the Asian Dermatological Association. The journal aims to provide a forum for the exchange of information about new and significant research in dermatology and to promote the discipline of dermatology in Japan and throughout the world. Research articles are supplemented by reviews, theoretical articles, special features, commentaries, book reviews and proceedings of workshops and conferences.
Preliminary or short reports and letters to the editor of two printed pages or less will be published as soon as possible. Papers in all fields of dermatology will be considered.
