This is a case of fungal infection of both feet also known as tinea pedis.

This is a 55 year old gentleman who complained of mild itchiness of both of his feet for a few months.

Physical examination:

PE showed 2 types of clinical manifestations of tinea pedis – interdigital type and moccasin type ( the other two types include: inflammatory/bullous type and ulcerative type)

Interdigital type:

The skin of the webspace between the 4th and 5th toes is hyperkeratotic and macerated (which is due to the hydration of the stratum corneum).

(Note: KOH+ preparation will show septated hyphae and confirm the diagnosis. Erythrasma can occur concomitantly, which can be ruled out by wood lamp examination – negative coral red fluorescence. Pseudomonas aeruginosa may sometimes isolated on bacterial culture)

Moccasin type:

relatively well demarcated erythematous (in this case brownish post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) patches of rash with fine white scaling, and hyperkeratosis. Mainly on the lateral borders of feet, but can also occur on heels and soles.

Etiology:

For moist (macerated) type of interdigital tinea pedis – T. rubrum, T mentagrohytes

For dry type of interdigital tinea pedis – T. rubrum

For moccasin type – T. rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum

For inflammatory or bullous (vesiclar) type – T. mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes

For For ulcerative type – T. rubrum, E floccosum, T. mentagrophytes, C. albicans

Management:

Topical Ketoconazole cream and oral Itraconazole 200 mg daily for 14 days.

【趾間型】上圖第4/5趾間之趾蹼的皮膚過度角化和被浸漬現像(由於中央部份水化作用所致)

(註: KOH+標本可發現菌絲而確定診斷; 紅癬可能並存,後者可以用wood lamp examination加以排除 – 其珊瑚紅螢光呈陰性; 細菌培飬有時可能分離出綠膿杆菌.)
