摘要

隐匿性癣是指一种影响皮肤的皮肤真菌感染,由于先前使用免疫抑制剂、皮质类固醇或钙调磷酸酶抑制剂,其症状和体征在出现时往往出现排列。我们报告了一位42岁的亚洲(印度)男性患者,他患有鳞状红斑,类似环状红斑,并在选择性头发移植手术后出现皮质类固醇的使用。活检结果报告,没有离心环形红斑(EAC),样本提示潜在的感染性毛囊炎。就诊第3天,真菌染色检测为真菌感染阳性。在此基础上,对隐匿性癣进行了最终诊断。治疗隐匿性足癣的最后处方是抗真菌伊曲康唑片,剂量为100毫克,每天两次,连续4周,局部使用露立康唑,环匹罗和抗组胺药治疗瘙痒。局部皮质类固醇可以通过减少红斑和结垢来改变足癣的临床表现,同时使真菌自由生长,而不会出现典型的足癣临床指征。医生应跟踪患者的皮质类固醇治疗,提醒他们潜在的皮肤问题,由于可能的真菌感染,只要有必要。

Encountering steroid treatment induced tinea incognito: a case report
Tinea incognito refers to a type of dermatophyte infection that affects the skin, and its signs and symptoms upon presentation tend to appear permutated due to the prior use of immunosuppressants, corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors. We present a 42-year-old Asian (Indian) male patient with scaly erythematous rashes, mimicking annular erythema, and developing post-corticosteroid usage after an elective hair transplant procedure. The results of the biopsy reported that erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) was absent, and the sample was suggestive of potential infective folliculitis. By day 3 of the presentation, with fungal stain tested positive for the presence of fungal infection. Based on this, the final diagnosis of tinea incognito was made. The final treatment prescribed for tinea incognito was an anti-fungal tablet of Itraconazole at a dose of 100 mg twice a day for 4 weeks, topical luliconazole, ciclopirox and anti-histamines for itching. Topical corticosteroids can change the clinical appearance of tinea by reducing erythema and scaling while enabling the fungus to grow freely without presenting the typical clinical indications of tinea. Practitioners should follow patients on corticosteroid treatment to alert them to potential cutaneous problems due to possible fungal infections, whenever warranted.
