    Atypical clinical presentation of an Arthroderma gypseum infection in a renal transplant recipient
    (2020) BELDA JUNIOR, Walter; CRIADO, Paulo Ricardo
    Dermatophytes are known as a common cause of superficial mycosis, but atypical csentations in immunosuppressed patients make the diagnosis more challenging. Here, we report a case of a 39-year-old patient, a renal transplant recipient from a living donor, who presented with atypical cutaneous lesions of lower extremities caused by Arthroderma gypseum (Nannizzia gypsea). four months after receiving a renal transplant. It is important to highlight the importance of the early detection of fungal infections in immunosuppressed patients. Clinicians should have a high degree of suspicion for the early detection and treatment of the cases.

    Bedbugs (Cimicidae infestation): the worldwide renaissance of an old partner of human kind
    (2011) CRIADO, Paulo Ricardo; BELDA JUNIOR, Walter; CRIADO, Roberta Fachini Jardim; SILVA, Roberta Vasconcelos e; VASCONCELLOS, Cidia
    Bedbugs have been known as a human parasite for thousands of years, but scientific studies about this insect are recent and limited. Cimex lectularius, the common bedbug, was a well-known parasite in human dwellings until the end of the Second World War. Nowadays, bedbugs are considered uncommon in the industrialized world. Anecdotal reports suggest that bedbugs are getting more common in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom. In Brazil, there are few reports about bedbug infestations in the literature. The aim of this article was to alert physicians, especially in Brazil, about this ectoparasitosis, including aspects of the bedbug biology, their parasitism in human host, treatment and prophylaxis.

    Primary Cutaneous Cryptococcosis Caused by Cryptococcus gatti in an Elderly Patient
    (2022) BELDA JR., Walter; CASOLATO, Ana T. S.; LUPPI, Juliana B.; PASSERO, Luiz Felipe D.; CRIADO, Paulo R.
    According to the spread of Cryptococcus sp., fungal infections can be classified as primary or secondary. In primary cutaneous cryptococcosis, the fungi are restricted to the skin of the patients, without systemic involvement. The incidence of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis is high in patients with immunosuppression, and this type of infection is rarely observed in patients who are immunocompetent. In the present case report, a patient who is immunocompetent and has systemic comorbidity reported that, after skin trauma, ulcerovegetative lesions appeared in the right upper arm; the etiologic agent was identified as Cryptococcus gatti, serotype B. The cutaneous lesions healed completely after 5 months of fluconazole treatment.

    Topical Application of Imiquimod as a Treatment for Chromoblastomycosis
    (2014) SOUSA, Maria da Gloria Teixeira de; BELDA JR., Walter; SPINA, Ricardo; LOTA, Priscila Ramos; VALENTE, Neusa Sakai; BROWN, Gordon D.; CRIADO, Paulo Ricardo; BENARD, Gil
    Chromoblastomycosis is a subcutaneous mycosis that remains a therapeutic challenge, with no standard treatment and high rates of relapse. On the basis of our recent discoveries in mouse models, we tested the efficacy of topical applications of imiquimod to treat patients afflicted with this chronic fungal infection. We report results of treatment for the first 4 recipients of topical imiquimod, all of whom displayed a marked improvement of their lesions, both with and without concurrent oral antifungal therapy.

    A case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis in Brazil undiagnosed for 15 years
    (2021) WEDY, Glaucia Ferreira; PASSERO, Luiz Felipe Domingues; CRIADO, Paulo Ricardo; JR, Walter Belda
    Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis is a rare medical condition that is caused by the inoculation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the skin of a previously sensitized individual. This clinical form of tuberculosis corresponds to 1-2% of all cases of tuberculosis and due to the paucibacillary characteristic of the lesions, patients can be misdiagnosed, accounting for the chronification of the skin infection. Herein, we report the case of a 26-year-old male farmer, presenting plaques with verrucosa and hyperkeratosis features in the left thigh and buttocks during 15 years. M. tuberculosis was identified by PCR and the patient was treated with standard anti-tuberculosis drugs, with subsequent improvement of the skin lesions. (c) 2021 Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia.
