“…Indeed, Kwon-Chung [37] has suggested that thermotolerant S. schenckii strains that demonstrate an ability to grow on Sabouraud dextrose media at 37ЊC are more likely to cause lymphocutaneous disease and visceral organ involvement than are those strains that do not grow at 37ЊC. Other investigators have made similar observations [38,39], but it has not been a consistent finding [40]. Previous strain analysis of isolates from Abancay suggests a single strain of S. schenckii [41]; however, neither thermotolerance studies nor other studies to determine optimal growth characteristics have been done.…”

Sporotrichosis is a sporadic and rare mycotic infection in most of the developed world. In many parts of the developing world, sporotrichosis is much more commonly recognized, but epidemiological data are generally lacking from these regions. We report epidemiological, clinical, and treatment data from 238 cases of culture-proven sporotrichosis occurring in a relatively remote area of the south central highlands of Peru that were retrospectively collected during 1995-1997. Most cases (60%) occurred in children aged

“…11,51 High temperatures inhibit experimental infections in animal and human beings. 11,[52][53][54][55] It has been proposed that high temperatures could lead to disappearance or reduction of lymphatic damage, making it difficult to be detected by clinical examination. 11 However, all these hypotheses still need to be validated.…”

“…Hyperthermia has been successfully used in the treatment of cancer [1,2], and the importance of hyperthermia treatment has been increasing with the improvement of apparatus as well as the elucidation of the mechanisms of hyperthermia treatment. Hyperthermia has been also used in the treatment of dermatological diseases such as psoriasis vulgaris [3] and sporotrichosis [4]. However, skin damage induced by hyperthermia treatment has not been studied extensively.…”

SummaryThe effect of local hyperthermia treatment (43°C, 45 min) on normal mouse skin was studied by examining superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and histology of the skin. SOD activity of the skin decreased significantly 1, 4, 7, and 14 days after the treatment. The decrease reached a peak 4 days after the treatment and recovered to some extent by 14 days after the treatment. The decrease in SOD activity may be due to consumption of SOD by inflammation as well as to the destruction of SOD by hyperthermia. Histological examination of hyperthermia-treated skin showed edema, bleeding, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis, and individual cell keratinization and acanthosis in the epidermis. It is important to estimate the decrease in SOD activity and tissue injury of the skin by hyperthermia in order to use hyperthermia more effectively with fewer side effects. Hyperthermia has been successfully used in the treatment of cancer [1,2], and the importance of hyperthermia treatment has been increasing with the improvement of apparatus as well as the elucidation of the mechanisms of hyperthermia treatment. Hyperthermia has been also used in the treatment of dermatological diseases such as psoriasis vulgaris [3] and sporotrichosis [4]. However, skin damage induced by hyperthermia treatment has not been studied extensively.Recently it was reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be involved in the cytotoxic mechanism of hyperthermia [5], and that the lipid peroxide level was demonstrated to increase after thermal injury in rats [6]. These reports suggest that ROS and lipid peroxides play roles in skin damage induced by hyperthermia treatment.In this study, we examined superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of the skin of
