Touch Biopsy: A Simple and Rapid Method for the Diagnosis of Systemic Mycoses with Skin Dissemination in HIV-Infected Patients
Systemic fungal infection can disseminate to the skin and require prompt treatment, making early diagnosis very important. This study describes the use of a simple, quick touch biopsy method for the diagnosis of invasive mycoses in patients with AIDS with cutaneous manifestations. We identified...

can disseminate to
the skin and require prompt treatment, making early diagnosis very important. This study describes the use of a simple, quick
touch biopsy method for the diagnosis of
invasive mycoses in patients with
AIDS with cutaneous manifestations. We identified fungal
infections in 24 of the 29 investigated patients. Histoplasma capsulatum, Cryptococcus neoformans, Talaromyces
artroroseus, Aspergillus flavus, Candida
tropicalis, and Malassezia sp.
were visualized directly in samples obtained from cutaneous lesions and
confirmed by culture and molecular examination. The results suggested that
touch biopsy is a simple, rapid method for the diagnosis of systemic mycoses
with skin dissemination. It can be performed using simple tools and provides
quick results, allowing for early intervention with appropriate antifungal therapy. |
