Investigation of Intertriginous Mycotic and Pseudomycotic (Erythrasma) Infections and Their Causative Agents with Emphasize on Clinical Presentations Intertrigo is an erythematous inflammatory condition with multiple etiologies including fungi and bacteria. Intertrigo manifests in different clinical forms with various complaints. This study was conducted to evaluate the causative agents by erythrasma (28 cases, 35%), tinea versicolor (10 cases, 12.5%) and candidiasis (6 cases, 7.5%). Intertrigo lesions with dermatophytic agents significantly were observed in groin in comparison to different infections among body sites (<0.05). Itching was the most common clinical presentation (57 cases, 71.3%) and also significant association between different infections and clinical manifestations were

Complete Genome Sequence of Corynebacterium minutissimum, an Opportunistic Pathogen and the Causative Agent of Erythrasma Corynebacterium minutissimum was first isolated in 1961 from infection sites of patients presenting with erythrasma, a common cutaneous infection characterized by a rash. Since its discovery, C. minutissimum has been identified as an opportunistic pathogen in immunosuppressed

A total of 208 patients were included [31 foot intertrigo (7 due to Pseudomonas, 13 due to Corynebacterium and 11 due to dermatophytes); 57 intertrigo of major creases (18 inverse psoriasis, 13 erythrasma, 15 tinea infections and 11 candidiasis); 16 acne (papulopustular) and 13 Malassezia folliculitis; 46 papulosquamous dermatoses (14 guttate psoriasis, 11 lichen planus, 12 pityriasis around dermal papillae in the former), progressive macular hypomelanosis (folliculocentric distribution) and erythrasma (showing polygonal or structureless appearance); blue fluorescent concretions along hair shaft in erythrasma; light green in achromic pityriasis versicolor and tinea of major creases; and blue follicular in Malassezia folliculitis.

The prevalence of interdigital erythrasma in southern region of Turkey. Erythrasma is a skin infection which is caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum. Interdigital erythrasma is the most common form. The aim of this study was to detect the frequency and risk factors of interdigital erythrasma in patients with clinically suspected tinea pedis. This study was conducted between June and December were also recorded. Cases that were found to be positive on Wood's lamp examination and/or Gram staining/culture were considered as erythrasma. The rate of erythrasma was found to be 46.7%. The mean age was 43.6 years, and the disease was more prevalent in men. The most common clinical finding was desquamation. Mycological examination was found as positive in 40.35% of the patients. No growth
