| Popis: | Hendersonula toruloidea infection is present in Thailand, where the clinical picture of tinea pedis is scales 61%, erythema 22%, maceration 10.8%, and hyperkeratosis 9%. The diagnosis was confirmed by repeated isolation of H. toruloidea. The slow-growing type was found more often than the fast-growing in the ratio of 2.8:1. In patients with H. toruloidea infection, skin test with Hs antigen of 1:10 was positive. Griseofulvin sensitivity test revealed that the MIC of 20 cultures was more than 100 micrograms/ml. Only 2 out of 93 cases (0.02%) were cured with half-strength Whitfield ointment for 4 months. Pathomechanism of the infection is being studied. |
