INFILTRATIVE-SUPPURATIVE TRICHOPHYTOSIS: CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRESSION AND TREATMENT METHODS
Abstract
Infiltrative-suppurative trichophytosis is an infectious disease caused by dermatophytes of the Trichophyton genus, characterized by deep involvement of hair and skin. This article explores the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and contemporary treatment approaches for the disease. The study utilizes microscopic analysis, cultural examinations, and clinical observations. The findings suggest that early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of infiltrative-suppurative trichophytosis are critical in preventing severe complications. Preventive measures and strategies to curb the spread of dermatophytosis are also addressed.
