- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Onicomicoses e tinea pedis em atletas do Planalto Médio do Rio Grande do Sul – Brasil(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2009-07-29) Sabadin, Clarice Elvira Saggin [UNIFESP]; Gompertz, Olga Fischman [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Introduction: onychomycosis and tinea pedis are superficial fungal infections caused primarily by dermatophytes, which may interfere with personal performance, professional and social life. However, there are few investigations about mycoses situation among athletes. Objective: to investigate the prevalence of foot fungal infections, comparing athletes and non-athletes from the Middle Plateau of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Methods: one hundred male athletes, between 18 and 40 years, from the cities of Passo Fundo, Erechim, Tapejara and Sarandi were included in this study. The control group was consisted of 100 non-athletes at the same age and sex. Scales of the skin and/or nails were collected for direct examination and fungal culture. The chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were employed with significance level of 0.05. Results: the prevalence of foot fungal infections was similar between athlete and non-athlete population. Among the athletes, we observed 32 positive cases for fungal infection: 16 of onychomycosis, 12 of tinea pedis and four of onychomycosis and tinea pedis association. Among non-athletes, there were 20 cases of fungal infection: 10 of onychomycosis, seven of tinea pedis and three of onychomycosis and tinea pedi association. The nails of the first and second toes were the most affected. Distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis was the main type of onychomycosis in both groups: athlete (90%) and non-athlete (100%). The identified dermatophytes (n = 39) were Trichophyton rubrum (56.5% and 56.3%), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (30.4% and 31.3%), Microsporum canis (8.7% and 6.2%), Epidermophyton floccosum (4.4% and 6.2%), respectively from athletes and non-athletes. Among the yeasts (n = 5), Candida albicans (40%), Candida parapsilosis (20%), Candida tropicalis (20%) and Trichosporon spp (20%) were identified among athletes. Among non-athletes (n = 2): C. albicans (50%) and C. parapsilosis (50%). Among the analyzed predisposing factors for onychomycosis in athletes, significance was found in: familial cases of fungal infection (p = 0.001), domestic animals contact (p = 0.007) and nail trauma (p = 0.033). In non-athletes, the habit of not using slippers in common use bathrooms and changing rooms (p = 0.014) and nail trauma (p = 0.004) were significant. Analyzing the same predisposing factors for tinea pedis, the habit of not using sandals in common use bathrooms and changing rooms (p = 0.001) was a predisposing factor for both groups and excessive sweating only in the group of non-athletes (p = 0.019). Conclusion: based on the results of this work, we concluded that there was no significant difference in foot fungal infections between the athlete and non-athlete groups, the main found agents were dermatophytes followed by yeasts.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosOnychomycosis and Tinea Pedis in Athletes from the State of Rio Grande Do Sul (Brazil): A Cross-Sectional Study(Springer, 2011-03-01) Sabadin, Clarice Saggin [UNIFESP]; Benvegnu, Sergio Augusto; Carvalho da Fontoura, Mara Mary; Fernandes Saggin, Ligia Maria; Tomimori, Jane [UNIFESP]; Fischman, Olga [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Univ Passo Fundo; Sao Vicente Paula HospOnychomycosis and tinea pedis are common superficial infections caused primarily by dermatophytes. the aim of this investigation was to study the epidemiology, etiological agents, and potential risk factors for infection based on comparison of athletes and non-athletes from a northern region of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). Each group consisted of 100 male individuals with ages ranging from 18 to 40 years. After a clinical examination, samples were taken from individuals presenting signs of onychomycosis and/or tinea pedis for direct microscopic examination and culture. Among the athletes, the frequency of onychomycosis and/or tinea pedis was 32%, and for the control group, it was 20%. the athletes presented 16% of onychomycosis, 12% of tinea pedis, and 4% of onychomycosis and tinea pedis together. the distribution in the control group was 10% of onychomycosis, 7% of tinea pedis, and 3% of this association. the pathogens identified were dermatophytes (84.8%) and yeasts (15.2%), and the most commonly identified organism was Trichophyton rubrum, followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale. No significant differences were found when the frequency of species distribution in the athletes and non-athlete groups was compared. Risk factors for onychomycosis in athletes included familial cases of fungal infection, contact with domestic animals, and nail trauma, while the risk factors in non-athletes included the habit of not using sandals in public bathrooms and nail trauma. for tinea pedis, the habit of not using sandals in public bathrooms was a predisposing factor in both groups, while hyperhydrosis was a risk factor only in non-athletes. This study concludes that despite the higher number of fungal infections in athletes, there is no significant difference between these groups.
