    Changing Concepts and Current Definition of Majocchi's Granuloma
    (2020) Durdu, Murat; Kandemir, Hazal; Ilkit, Macit; de Hoog, G. Sybren; 31297666
    Dermatophytic granuloma characterized by perifollicular granulomatous inflammation was first described by Domenico Majocchi and was later named after him, Majocchi's granuloma (MG). Although the initial description was related to a dermatophyte Trichophyton tonsurans, later reports linked MG to non-dermatophytes (Phoma, Aspergillus, Malbranchea), which led to a confusion of disease patterns caused by cutaneous pathogens and general opportunistic microorganisms. Furthermore, several causative agents of MG described in the literature were not confirmed as such. Our review addressed the following aspects: (1) significance of histopathological finding for MG diagnosis, (2) dermatophytes as exclusive agents of MG, (3) spectrum of etiological agents causing different types of invasive dermatophytic infections, and (4) treatment options.

    Majocchi's granuloma: current perspectives
    (2018) Durdu, Murat; Boral, Hazal; Ilkit, Macit; 0000-0003-1247-3932; 29861637; H-9068-2019
    Majocchi's granuloma (MG) is a rare fungal infection of the dermis that is mainly caused by dermatophytes (in >= 95% of cases); the most frequently identified cause is anthropophilic Trichophyton rubrum. In the rest of the cases, the causes are non-dermatophytic fungi such as Aspergillus species. This review aimed to provide information about the current perspectives on MG regarding its clinical characteristics, predisposing factors, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment strategies. Although the lower extremities were reported to be the most common site of infection, facial involvement has been predominant in the past 5 years. Our literature research showed that the most common predisposing factor (55%) is the use of topical steroid creams without potassium hydroxide examination during treatment of erythematous squamous dermatoses. A reliable diagnosis of MG is based on histopathological examination, including fungal culture and molecular analyses. MG should be treated not only with topical agents but also with systemic antifungal agents that are continued until the lesions are completely resolved. In systemic treatment, the most preferred drug is terbinafine, because of its efficacy, side effects, and safety.

    The Role of Diagnostic Approaches to Determine the Treatment
    (2018) Durdu, Murat; Eskiocak, Ali Haydar; 0000-0003-1247-3932
    The diagnosis of dermatological diseases requires cytological, dermatoscopic, histopathological examinations, some laboratory tests, and radiology imaging in addition to clinical examination. However, these tests are quite important, not only in time of diagnosis, but also in patient follow ups and determining the therapeutic approach. In this article, the diagnostic tests are reviewed that may help to dermatologists in detecting the treatment of dermatological diseases.
