The prevalence of Behcet's disease is the highest in East Asian and Mediterranean countries. also distributed countries, but nationwide survey has not been performed Korea yet. Korean Study Group for Disease, founded 1999, conducted a multicenter, retrospective on epidemiologic clinical features patients with from 20 hospitals around nation 1997 to 1999. Of 3,497 patients, 1,527 were classified into complete or incomplete type according revised Shimizu's classification. sex ratio was 1:1.75...
We developed a PCR-based assay to differentiate medically important species of Aspergillus from one another and other opportunistic molds yeasts by employing universal, fungus-specific primers DNA probes in an enzyme immunoassay format (PCR-EIA). Oligonucleotide probes, directed the internal transcribed spacer 2 region ribosomal flavus, fumigatus, nidulans, niger, terreus, ustus, versicolor, differentiated 41 isolates (3 9 each respective species; P < 0.001) PCR-EIA detection matrix gave no...
Onychomycosis is usually caused by dermatophytes, but some nondermatophytic molds and yeasts are also associated with invasion of nails.The genus Chaetomium a dematiaceous mold found in soil plant debris as saprophytic fungus.We report the first Korean case onychomycosis globosum 35-year-old male.The patient showed brownish-yellow discoloration subungual hyperkeratosis on right toenails (1st 5th) left 4th).Direct microscopic examination scraping potassium hydroxide preparation revealed...
A novel dermatophyte species is described in the Microsporum cookei clade. It differs significantly from known taxa two molecular markers analyzed, i.e., ITS and partial β-tubulin (BT2). Morphologically was characterized by smooth- or only slightly rough-walled conidia, but isolates rapidly became pleomorphic with sparse, thick-walled macroconidia addition to microconidia. teleomorph found after mating.
Both status and progress in smart water metering (SWM) implementations five selected countries (i.e., United States of America, Kingdom, Australia, Israel, South Korea) are investigated this study. Despite the countless benefits SWM implementation, diffusion technologies has been slow due to various challenges, including absence compulsory policies, lack support from customers expertise, weak cost–benefit analysis. Over past 30 years, aforementioned have transitioned a fixed charging...
A case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala equina is reported in a 75-year-old female, who showed abscesses on both forearms for 8 months. lesion was initiated inoculation with spine from tree. Histopathologically, suppurative granulomatous inflammation present and short hyphal elements were observed. Upon culture greyish-black, velvety colonies black yeast obtained after 3 weeks. The strain grew well at 25 °C, but poorly 37 °C. After sequencing the internal transcribed...
Syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum (SCACP) is a rare form of adenocarcinoma the skin. This malignant counterpart syringocystadenoma (SCAP) and usually develops on scalp in long-standing lesion identified clinically as SCAP. We describe 65-yr-old Korean man with nodule right supra-pubic area 2-yr duration. Histologically this tumor had similar overall configuration SCAP, but was asymmetric poorly circumscribed, extending into deep dermis showed cytologic atypia. The cells positive...
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of nails, leading to the gradual destruction nail plate. Treatment onychomycosis may need long-time oral antifungal therapy that can have potential side effects, thus accurate diagnosis disease before treatment important. Culture for time-consuming and has high false-negative rates. To expedite diagnosis, an oligonucleotide array, based on hybridization between immobilized probes PCR products, direct detection dermatophytes Candida albicans in clinical...
Pilomatricoma is a benign follicular tumor that composed of basaloid cells, transitional cells and shadow cells. beta-Catenin 92-kDa protein, it plays important roles in cell-cell adhesion at the cell membrane signal transduction nucleus. has recently been shown to play an role formation hair follicle-related tumors, including pilomatricoma. However, pattern intracellular localization expression are still controversial.We wanted evaluate pilomatricoma by performing immunohistochemical...
Abstract A 4‐year‐old, ovariohysterectomized, English springer spaniel on immunosuppressive therapy was re‐examined for the review of its immune‐mediated haemolytic anaemia and recent development skin lesions. For 3 months since hospital discharge, dog had been receiving 1.3 mg/kg prednisolone 2.6 ciclosporin, both administered orally twice daily. Physical examination revealed hepatomegaly multiple, purulent, crusting, erosive to ulcerative lesions over different body areas. Onychorrhexis...
Trichophyton tonsurans has been reported to be the causative agent of an epidemic tinea corporis and capitis among Japanese judoists wrestlers. A molecular method using restriction enzyme analysis PCR-amplified fragments targeting non-transcribed spacer (NTS) region ribosomal RNA genes in fungal nuclei was applied a total 232 strains T. isolated Japan. Six types, i.e., NTS types I, II, III, IV, V, VI, were clearly detected digested with MvaI AvaI together. Of strains, 199 classified as 21 7...
Cardiac myxoma, the most prevalent primary cardiac tumor, is rare. The clinical features of this tumor are principally intracardiac obstruction, extracardiac embolism, and general symptoms including fever, myalgia, arthralgia. Although cutaneous manifestations in patients with myxoma frequent, rare cases, signs have been clues to correct diagnosis. We report a 42-year-old male who presented recurrent multiple purpuric patches on both palms soles for 4 months. Histopathological finding showed...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous neoplasm. Despite numerous previous studies, origin of BCC still controversial.The aim this study to evaluate whether arises from hair follicle rather than epidermal basal cell.The labeling index and differences expression immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings CK15, CK19, follistatin, Bmi-1 were evaluated in 20 cases BCC, 13 trichoblastoma, 21 actinic keratosis (AK), 19 squamous (SCC) which biopsied department dermatology Yeungnam...
Bowenoid papulosis (BP) is a disease that mainly occurs in sexually active young adults.The patients present with multiple pigmented papular lesions verrucous surface on the anogenital area.Although extragenital BP usually associated concomitant genital involvement, few cases of isolated have been reported.However, to our knowledge, nipple has not yet reported medical literature.We report case 32-year-old woman who presented caused by human papillomavirus-16.(Ann Dermatol 26(3) 381∼384, 2014) -
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects skin, mucous membranes, hairs, and nails. According to the site of involvement, lichen can be subdivided into palmoplantar, mucosal, nail, or scalp types. Palmoplantar rare subtype which may create difficulty in diagnosis, as lesion limited palms soles. We report case 37-year-old male with who presented multiple erythematous, scaly, hyperkeratotic papules on his soles mimicking secondary syphilis.
