Chronic subcutaneous infection, often of the foot, caused by inoculation of fungal or bacterial agents present in the environment.
Chronic mycosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue after traumatic inoculation from soil or plants.
Yeast can cause serious infections and can be transmitted between patients in the care setting. Symptoms-free porting is possible; resistance to antifungals is common.
Prevention
Wearing shoes and gloves, rapid wound care and early diagnosis of persistent injuries.
Footwear, gloves and protective clothing during exponent agricultural or forestry activities.
Specialized care measures: hand hygiene, equipment management and adapted disinfection. Report a history of portage or infection to the health care team.
Examination of the grains, samples and identification of the agent guide the processing. Imaging evaluates the extent of the lesions.
Sampling, biopsy and culture can identify the fungus. A wart-like lesion is not sufficient for diagnosis.
Identification requires a suitable laboratory. Sensitivity tests guide the treatment as resistance to antifungal drugs is common.
