Kodamaea ohmeri infection is a relatively rare condition, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals or those with a history of invasive procedures. The diagnosis of this infection is challenging because of its diverse and complex atypical clinical presentations. In this study, we describe a case of cutaneous infection with Kodamaea ohmeri presenting as erythematous and scaly lesions on both armpits and groin with itching in an 82-year-old man, mimicking intertrigo, and review the relevant literature. The diagnosis was confirmed through fungal microscopy, fungal culture, and mass spectrometry. Antifungal therapy proved to be effective in managing the infection. This case suggests that K. ohmeri, similar to Candida, is a potential pathogen in secondary infection associated with intertrigo. The findings highlight that early identification and diagnosis are crucial for managing K. ohmeri infections effectively.

Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) therapy at a wavelength of 311 nm is often used to treat mycosis fungoides (MF). However, we occasionally encounter cases of erythema induced by low doses of NB-UVB, known as an abnormal light reaction (ALR). We investigated the incidence of ALR in patients with MF and the association between ALR and clinical and laboratory findings. Forty patients (30 men and 10 women) with MF (excluding patients treated with bexarotene or etretinate) who received NB-UVB therapy at the Department of Dermatology, University of Toyama, from January to December 2022 were analyzed. ALR was defined as erythema caused by NB-UVB irradiation of the nonlesional skin at a dose of ≤0.5 J/cm2. ALR occurred in six of 40 patients (15%). The main symptoms of ALR are erythema, irritation, and itching. ALR was observed in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types II and III, and was more common in patients with T2 and T4 disease than in others. The mechanism underlying its occurrence is unknown; however, it has been suggested that ALR is more likely to occur in patients with extensive skin lesions. In addition, treatment can be continued by reducing the dose of NB-UVB or switching to a 308-nm excimer laser, even when ALR occurs. Accumulation of additional cases is required because there were only six patients with ALR in this study.

We encountered two cases of onychomycosis caused by Aspergillus (A.) subramanianii and A. sclerotiorum. These species belong to the Aspergillus section Circumdati, which is reportedly common in a wide range of habitats. The members of section Circumdati rarely cause onychomycosis. We report the second and fifth cases of A. subramanianii and A. sclerotiorum in the world. Positive findings in dermatophyte antigen kits helped us to diagnose these infections. These isolates were sensitive to ravuconazole, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.5 μg/mL. They were successfully treated with oral fosravuconazole. We discuss 14 cases of onychomycosis caused by Aspergillus section Circumdati.
