Asociación de <i>tiña pedis</i> con bacterias y determinación de estrategias de laboratorio clínico para identificación del hongo.

Abstract

Mycotic infections caused by dermatophytes affect millions of people worldwide, Tinea pedis being the most common of these invasions. Three genera of causal dermatophytes are known, but the Trichophyton genus is considered the cause of most of these infections with forty species involved, being the species Trichophyton rubrum the causal agent of Tiña pedis and object of this study; The objective of our research is to characterize the Trichophyton rubrum mold and its relationship with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria through a literature review on microbiological strategies for the identification of superficial mycoses. We worked applying the analytical and descriptive method. The diagnosis of Trichophyton rubrum has become a problem to be solved more quickly, because these superficial mycotic infections tend to be associated with bacteria, provoking their relationship in the interpretations of the laboratory diagnosis, causing more violent reactions of the disease in certain patients. , the same ones that can cause the patient to worsen his pre-existing condition, on the other hand the neglect of a patient without pre-existing diseases also results in the same violent reaction; There are innovations in laboratory strategies for the identification of Tinea pedis due to Trichophyton rubrum, such as direct examination, culture, antibiogram, wood light, histopathology and molecular techniques; that seek to be specific and avoid misdiagnosis with associated bacteria and were collected in this investigation, it should be emphasized that these depend on the experience and knowledge of laboratory personnel.
