摘要
我们描述了英国 157 例毛癣菌感染病例,其中大部分患者与南亚有关。indotineae 毛癣菌正在英国蔓延,占英国国家真菌学参考实验室(UK National Mycology Reference Laboratory)收到的皮癣菌分离物的 38%。临床医生应怀疑体癣病例中的 T. indotineae。
Spread of Antifungal-Resistant Trichophyton indotineae, United Kingdom, 2017–2024
We describe 157 cases of Trichophyton indotineae infection in the United Kingdom, mostly in patients linked to southern Asia. T. indotineae is spreading in the United Kingdom and accounts for 38% of dermatophyte isolates referred to the UK National Mycology Reference Laboratory. Clinicians should suspect T. indotineae in tinea corporis cases.
期刊介绍:
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
