Background: A rapid and sensitive LC-MS/MS method was established to measure iodiconazole (ADKZ) in dermatophytosis patients treated topically with 2% ADKZ cream.
Methodology: ADKZ was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and separated by an Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column (2.1 × 150 mm, 3.
Higher concentration of CO₂ and 37°C stabilize the less virulent opaque cell of Candida albicans.

Background: Candida albicans (C. albicans) strains can spontaneously switch at a very low frequency from white to opaque phase. The ability to switch reversibly between white and opaque phenotype and contributes to the pathogenicity of C.

- The article discusses a specific case of primary cutaneous zygomycosis linked to the fungus Rhizomucor variabilis.
- It also reviews 6 similar cases from eastern China that present unique characteristics compared to other zygomycosis cases caused by different Mucorales species.
- All 6 cases from China were found in three neighboring provinces, suggesting a potential regional pattern in the infections.
A slowly enlarging arm ulcer appeared in a 61-year-old man with cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Skin biopsy revealed aseptate hyphae and nodular small/medium-sized pleomorphic CD4(+) T cell infiltration. Cultures yielded Absidia corymbifera which was identified by phenotypic and molecular methods.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are significant associations between strain genotypes and body sites of infection and to determine the potential pathogenesis of cutaneous candidiasis at multiple locations.

Objective: To investigate the co-culture of keratinocytes with Malassezia isolates which cause the pityriasis versicolor with different color and to analyze the changes of cytokines associated with melanogenesis.
Methods: The effects of Malassezia species with different proportions on the growth rate of keratinocytes was assessed with 5 g/L methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). Co-culture of keratinocytes and Malassezia species were performed with isolates from hyer- and hypo-pigmentation areas of pityriasis versicolor.
