“…Corroborating these studies, Wael et al (2015), in their study, observed that 7.2% of the analyzed samples of human beings tested positive for T. verrucosum, where they were people who had cattle, sheep and goats. Aquino et al (2003), in their study carried out in João Pessoa, observed that T. verrucosum was found in the fourth position among the positive samples for dermatophytosis in human beings, representing 10% of the observed cases. Santos et al (2021), observed in their study with dogs and cats, percentages representing 14.2% of positive samples for fungi, also demonstrating that a relevant percentage of their owners also reported having similar skin lesions, fact that can be explained by the close interaction between the owners and their animals, which facilitates the zoonotic transmission of these agents, highlighting the fact that many of these owners were unaware of the term zoonosis, revealing the need for investment in health education, addressing issues related to One Health, aiming at the prevention of occurrence of these diseases in animals and consequently in humans.…”

The present study aimed to report a case of dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton verrucosum in a domestic feline. The patient was admitted to the University Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of West Bahia, with dermatological complaints. On physical examination, alopecic lesions with an erythematous, hyperpigmented appearance and the presence of papules were noted, which were distributed throughout the body, with a greater predominance in the thoracic limbs, ventral region and head. Dermatological samples were collected from different areas of the body with lesions, which were sent for mycological culture and research for ectoparasites at the Laboratory of Clinical Analysis and Veterinary Microbiology of the same institution. The fungal examination showed the growth of colonies with a prominent center and flat periphery with salmon coloring and a subtly granular texture, demonstrating on microscopy hyaline septate fungal filaments, the presence of few piriform to ovoid shaped microconidia, in addition to several chlamydospores and hyphae with engorgement. terminal, compatible with “pearl chains”, confirming a case of dermatophytosis by T. verrucosum. The literature approaches this fungus as a cause of disease in cattle and other ruminants, however there is still little information about its distribution and epidemiology in felines in Brazil, revealing the need for epidemiological studies in the area. It is concluded, therefore, that T. verrucosum infection in felines should be considered as a differential diagnosis of other dermatological conditions in the small animal clinic.

As dermatofitoses têm ocorrência mundial, sendo mais prevalentes em países de clima tropical e subtropical. Dados epidemiológicos indicam que essas micoses estão entre as infecções fúngicas de maior ocorrência. O quadro clínico mais comum de dermatofitose inclui despigmentação, placas anulares, prurido e perda de cabelo, com lesões tipicamente conhecidas como tineas, ocasionadas por fungos filamentosos dermatofíticos de três gêneros anamórficos: Microsporum, Trichophyton e Epidermophyton. O tratamento das dermatofitoses, em geral, está relacionado ao uso de antifúngicos tópicos e/ou sistêmicos, apresentando como problemática o surgimento de espécies multirresistentes. Esta revisão aborda as dermatofitoses e seus agentes etiológicos de forma aprofundada em aspectos epidemiológicos, apresentando a importância clínica do tema, com ênfase na causa, prevenção, tratamento e prognóstico dessa micose cutânea.

“…12 In Brazil, various studies, shown in chart 1, have registered a higher frequency of T. tonsurans in northern and northeastern states and M. canis in southern and southeastern states. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] T. schoenleinii infection, which causes tinea favosa, has been shown to be quite rare in the cited regions and countries. 22 This had the goal of adding up epidemiological data on the matter, based on data obtained at the Dermatology Department at Botucatu Medical School-Unesp (Dermatology-FMB), which sees both urban and rural population coming from the interior of the State of São Paulo.…”

FUNDAMENTOS: Tinea capitis é importante infecção fúngica de interesse dermatológico e pediátrico. No Brasil sua prevalência é desconhecida, e os agentes causais principais são o Trichophyton tonsurans nas regiões Norte-Nordeste e o Microsporum canis no Sul-Sudeste do país. Conhecimento sobre gênero e espécies mais prevalentes tem importância sanitária e terapêutica. OBJETIVOS: Identificar espécies de dermatófitos, causa de Tinea capitis, em serviço universitário que atende clientela do Sistema Único de Saúde, de procedência urbana e rural, no interior do Estado de São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Amostras de casos clínicos suspeitos de Tinea capitis, procedentes da área de abrangência da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu-Unesp, foram investigadas por exame direto e cultivo visando ao diagnóstico e isolamento do agente causal. RESULTADOS: De 1.055 suspeitas, 594 foram confirmadas por exame direto, em 364 (61,1%) isolou-se o agente: M. canis em 88,2%, seguindo-se T. tonsurans (4,7%), T. rubrum (3,3%), M. gypseum (1,9%), T. mentagrophytes (1,6%). O sexo masculino correspondeu a 55,7% dos casos, e a faixa etária entre 0-5 anos predominou com 62,6% (p < 0,05). CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência detectada do M. canis superou o esperado para a Região Sudeste do Brasil. A freqüência de 88,2% pode estar influenciada por pacientes procedentes da zona rural. Esse dado deve ser considerado quando de decisão terapêutica.
