TRICHOPHYTON VIOLACEUM
Trichophyton violaceum is an anthropophilic, highly contagious mycosis that affects the epidermis and dermis with the involvement of hair and nails. This article discusses the issues of diagnosis and prevalence of trichophytosis in the Russian Federation. Skin lesions and skin derivatives in trichophytosis are more often recorded in childhood and the elderly, who are in close contact in the family, school, children’s hostels, nursing homes. The epidemic of superficial trichophytosis is much less than microsporia. In the presented clinical case, endemic areas of trichophytosis outside the Russian Federation are considered. Also, emphasis is placed on the features of the clinical picture against the background of previous non-specific treatment. The immunobiological phenomena in the form of skin allergization are considered. The article presents photographs of the resolution of skin lesions in trichophytosis and mycids until complete resolution. In our article, we wanted to note that trichophytosis, as a type of dermatophytosis, has not disappeared anywhere, despite the statistical data of some regions. Due to the migration of people, we can observe the variability of clinical forms. Timely diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent the spread and complications of the infection, as well as minimize cosmetic defects.
