Objectives: In Ulleung island, many people was suffered from dermatomycosis. But many patients was not recognized to dermatomycosis due to little symptom. So, public health education was needed. We will plan education direction based on evidence. So, in one way, the recognition level was needed to determine education direction. Methods: From June to July in 2005, 45 patients was made a question. The questionnaire was composed of chief complaint, site, duration, similar disease in family, 5 questiones and so on. If patients was recognized to 1 question, 1 score was added. Remain 4 question was done in same manner. Results: The low score group were that total socre was beyond 2. And The high score group were that total score was above 3. The low score group was 24 persons, average age was 59. The high score group was 21 persons and average age was 42. Male and female ratio was 7 : 17 in low score group and 10 : 11 in high score group. Coinfection was 17 patients in low score group and 2 patients in high score group. There was only 17 patients that wete recognized that dermatomycosis and "Moozom" were same disease. And, many patients was not recognized to possibility of reinfection after treatment of dermatomycosis. Conclusions: In Ulleung island, coinfection rate was higher than other area bacause of low recognition level. And infection rate in family was higher too. So, there was essential to educate of dermatomycosis prevention. Dermatomycosis patient became older and was more female than other area, so there was need to centralize people to be needed of public health education. Finally, many statistical study for dermatomycosis should be needed for many patients and general populations in Ulleung island.

This study was done with 105 cases of dermatomycosis of dermatological patients who had visited the dermatology clinic in Taejon city. Of dermatophytosis, the decreasing orders of clinical location by the incidence were Tinea pedis (44.8%), Tinea cruris (30.5 %) and Tinea corporis (10.5%). The organisms identified from dermatophytoses were 6 genus: the decreasing orders of frequency were Trichophyton spp. (43.5%), Candida spp. (12.9%), Microsporium spp. (3.2%) and Epdermophyton flocosum(1.6%). The most common causative organisms was Trichophyton spp.

당뇨병환자는 혈당수치가 높을수록 각종 피부감염에 걸릴가능성이 높아지기 때문에 철저한 혈당관리가 우선적으로 이루어져야 한다. 혈당조절 다음으로 당뇨병환자에게 중요한 감염 예방법은 철저한 위생관리와 피부의 접히는 부위에 습기가 차는 것을 막는 것이다.

DTM cultures were taken on 66 animals that presented with clinical signs of dermatophytosis or that had a positive Wood's lamp test. Of these cultures, 24 were Microsporum canis. Fifteen of the M canis cases were detectable by Wood's lamp. A dosage of 12.5mg/kg BID of ultramicrosize griseofulvin was effective in eliminating clinical signs in nearly all cases. This BID dosage was more effective than the same dose given once daily.

6개월령의 숫 낙타와 29세의 남성 낙타 관리인에서 발생한 Trichophyton verrucosum에 의한 진균감염증에 대해 보고하였다. 이 감염증은 피부 병변으로부터 KOH 기술에 의해 균 요소를 증명하고, 또한 감염된 피부의 소파물로부터 Trichophyton verrucosum을 분리하여 확진하였다. 낙타에서는 안면에 국한하여 병변이 발생하고, 관리인에서는 손에 발생하였다. 화학요법으로서 낙타에게는 2% 옥도정기를 사용하고, 관리인에게는 2% miconazole 연고를 사용하였다. 이 보고는 인도에 사는 단봉낙타로부터 Trichophyton verrucosum이 직접 사람에게 전염된 최초의 보고로 생각된다. 이 보고에서 단봉낙타의 피부염 감별진단에 Trichophyton verrucosum도 고려해야 한다는 사실을 제시하였다.

Root of Asarum sieboldii has been used in chinese medicine. It was been known that the extract of A. sieboldii has medicinal effect such as antifebrile, anodyne, and anti-inflammatory. Antifungal activity of the essential oil extracted from A. sieboldii against various epiderman and opportunistic human pathogenic fungi was investigated. Steam-distillated essential oil demonstrated very high antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Candida albicans. MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of the essential oil against C. albicans was 5 ul/ml, indicating that the essential oil may be used as natural preserves for cosmetic and nutritional products.

Microsporum gypseum was identified as the prime cause of dermatitis in two young horses who were housed in unhygienic stables. The lesions were mainly distributed on the thorax, abdomen and rump. The diagnosis was established on the direct demonstration of dermatophyte in the cutaneous lesions and isolation of the fungus in pure and heavy growth from the infected hairs and skin scales on mycological medium at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Microscopoc morphology of the isolate in 'PHOL' stain many macroconidia and few microconidia. Epidemoilogical investigation revealed the prevalence of M. gypseum in the soil of stables. Mycological examination is highly imperative to distinguish the disease from other dermatological disorders. This apperas to be the first report of equine dermatitis due to M. gypseum in Westenn India.

Coccidioidomycosis is caused by a dimorphous fungus, Coccidioides, which consists of two species, C. immitis and C. posadasii. Although these organisms are genetically distinct and do not exchange DNA, they appear identical phenotypically and the disease or immune response to the organisms is also identical. Coccidioides grows as a mycelium in the soil and is mainly found in Southwestern United States, northwestern Mexico, and Argentina. An infection usually results from inhaling the spores of the fungus in an endemic area. Patients with a localized infection and no risk factors for complications often require only a periodic reassessment to demonstrate the resolution of the self-limited process. However, patients with extensive spread of infection or high risk of complications as a result of immunosuppression or other preexisting factors require a variety of treatment strategies such as antifungal therapy, surgical debridement, or both. Korea is not endemic area of a coccidioidomycosis. We report a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis involving the lung and skin, which was detected incidentally after sunburn in a 69 year-old Korean male with diabetes mellitus and iatrogenic Cushings syndrome, with a review of the relevant literature.

This study was carried out to investigate the anti-fungal effect of Pyrethri Flos Boiled Solution (PFBS) from Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium Visiani on Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton Mentagrophytes with 0.5 ml, 1ml, 2 ml. In comparative drugs, on Sabouraud's glucose agar medium to 2 ml respectively and PFBS on the rabbit skin lesions, in vivo experiments, were observed. The results obtained were as follows : PFBS slightly suppresed the growth of the fungi in 0.5 ml and markedly it in 1 ml and 2 ml. In comparative drugs, benzylbenzoate represented similar anti-fungal action in 2 ml compared with PFBS. While, salicylic acid and boric acid represented less suppression of growth of the fungi than PFBS in 0.5 ml. The effects of PFBS on the rabbit skin lesions inoculation with dermatophytes was almost normally recorved about Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes except Microsporum canis after 8 days.
