Article Abstract

Atypical tinea corporis, characterized by clinical manifestations that resemble other skin disorders, can lead to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. This 67-year-old male had a seven-month history of pruritic skin lesions resembling subcorneal pustular dermatosis. Dermatological exam and fungal culture confirmed -induced atypical tinea corporis. After oral itraconazole treatment, he developed symmetrical eczematous lesions (Id reaction) on his extremities. Initial treatment was ineffective, so upadacitinib was administered, resulting in significant improvement at eight weeks. This case highlights atypical tinea presentations, Id reactions, and introduces upadacitinib as a novel treatment option for refractory Id reactions.

The spectrum of STIs is expanding due to evolving behaviours, globalisation, and pathogen adaptability.

Rationale: Atypical tinea lesions can exhibit diverse manifestations. Positive fungal microscopy results confirmed the diagnosis of tinea incognito and other forms of atypical tinea. Patients may concurrently suffer from fungal and bacterial coinfections, requiring physicians to carefully observe, accurately assess, and implement treatments that target both fungi and bacteria.

Sexually transmitted dermatophyte infections are an emerging public health concern, with increasing incidence reported across multiple countries. These infections are mainly spread through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity and are more commonly found in individuals with high-risk sexual practices. The likelihood of infection is heightened by frequent pubic hair grooming or regular use of shared spaces like gyms and saunas.
