“…Although diagnosis relies on culture of the organism or demonstration of pigmented hyphae in tissue biopsy, in some cases, cystic lesions are caused by nonpigmented hyphae and the condition is then termed as hyalohyphomycotic cyst. [2] In our patient, histopathology showed a cystic structure in the deep dermis and the wall of the cyst lined by a suppurative granulomatous infiltrate with multiple pigmented hyphae along the cyst wall. Hyphal elements could be clearly visualized on GMS staining.…”

“…The involvement of skin and subcutaneous tissue is known as subcutaneous pheohyphomycosis. [12] The term “phaeohyphomycosis” was coined by Ajello et al in 1974. [3] These fungi often infect patients who are not overtly immunocompromised and therefore may be encountered in a wide variety of cases.…”

“…Mucosal involvement is a common presenting feature of disseminated histoplasmosis. [1] Our patient gave history of recurrent self-healing oral ulcers for about 10 years. Most skin lesions of histoplasmosis arise following dissemination from a pulmonary focus and the only evidence of lung involvement could be calcification, which is indistinguishable on X-ray from tuberculosis.…”

A case of chronic disseminated cutaneous histoplasmosis with unusual skin manifestations in an immunocompetent host is reported. Presence of cutaneous ulcers, linear erythematous plaques, skin coloured atrophic plaques and recurrent self-limiting oral ulcers in a single patient has not been documented in literature so far. Diagnosis was established by identifying small intracellular yeast-like cells of Histoplasma in tissue smear and skin biopsy. Leishman stained tissue smear proves to be an easy and simple procedure for diagnosis of histoplasmosis.

This review paper highlights the trans-dermic delivery of nanoparticles (NPs) based antifungal ointments with the help of nanotechnology. It also describes the novel trans-dermal approach utilizing various nanoparticles which enables an efficient delivery to the target site. This current review gives an overview about past research and developments as well as the current nanoparticle-based ointments. This review also presents data regarding types, causes of infection, and different pathogens within their infection site. It also gives information about antifungal ointments with their activity and side effects of antifungal medicines. Additionally, this review also focuses on the future aspects of the topical administration of nanoparticle-based antifungal ointments. These nanoparticles can encapsulate multiple antifungal drugs as a combination therapy targeting different aspects of fungal infection. Nanoparticles can be designed in such a way that they can specifically target fungal cells and do not affect healthy cells. Nanoparticle based antifungal ointments exhibit outstanding potential to treat fungal diseases. As further research and advancements evolve in nanotechnology, we expect more development of nanoparticle-based antifungal formulations shortly. This paper discusses all the past and future applications, recent trends, and developments in the various field and also shows its bright prospective in the upcoming years. Graphical abstract
