Abstract
Dermatophytosis is a skin disorder caused by dermatophytes. Dermatophytes isolated in South Korea include Trichophyton (T.) rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, T. verrucosum, T. tonsurans, T. violaceum, T. schoenleinii, Microsporum (M.) canis, M. ferrugineum, M. gypseum, and Epidermophyton floccosum. T. tonsurans was first found in South Korea in 1992. In contrast, there have been no recent reported cases of T. violaceum, T. schoenleinii, and M. ferrugineum in South Korea. Population mobility, changes in human lifestyles, development of the healthcare system, and the introduction of antifungals have brought about dermatophyte evolution in the skin microenvironment. We have reviewed the cases of dermatophytosis caused by M. ferrugineum, T. violaceum, and T. schoenleinii reported both in South Korea and globally.
皮肤癣是由皮肤癣菌引起的一种皮肤病。在韩国分离到的皮肤真菌包括:rubrum毛癣菌、mentagrophytes毛癣菌、疣状毛癣菌、tonsurans毛癣菌、violaceum毛癣菌、schoenleinii毛癣菌、canis小孢子菌、ferrugineum毛癣菌、gypseum毛癣菌和絮状表皮菌。T. tonsurans于1992年首次在韩国被发现。相比之下，韩国最近没有报告紫罗兰分枝杆菌、schoenleinii和ferrugineum分枝杆菌的病例。人口流动、人类生活方式的改变、卫生保健系统的发展以及抗真菌药物的引入都导致了皮肤微环境中皮肤真菌的进化。我们回顾了在韩国和全球报告的由ferrugineum, T. violaceum和T. schoenleinii引起的皮肤真菌病的病例。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of mycology and infection (Acronym: JMI, Abbreviation: J Mycol Infect) aims to publish articles of exceptional interests in the field of medical mycology. The journal originally was launched in 1996 as the Korean Journal of Medical Mycology and has reformed into the current state beginning on March of 2018. The contents of the journal should elucidate important microbiological fundamentals and provide qualitative insights to respective clinical aspects. JMI underlines the submission of novel findings and studies in clinical mycology that are enriched by analyses achieved through investigative methods. The journal should be of general interests to the scientific communities at large and should provide medical societies with advanced breadth and depth of mycological expertise. In addition, the journal supplements infectious diseases in adjunct to the field of mycology to address a well-rounded understanding of infectious disorders. The Journal of mycology and infection, which is issued quarterly, in March, June, September and December each year, published in English. The scope of the Journal of mycology and infection includes invited reviews, original articles, case reports, letter to the editor, and images in mycology. The journal is compliant to peer-review/open access and all articles undergo rigorous reviewing processes by our internationally acknowledged team of editorial boards. The articles directed to publication should encompass in-depth materials that employ scholastic values of mycology and various infectious diseases. Articles responding to critical methodology and outcomes which have potential to enhance better understanding of mycology and infectious diseases are also suitable for publication.
