Fungi other than the dermatophytes can cause infections of the foot, toes and toenails that simulate classic "athlete's foot." Unless diagnosed culturally and morphologically by the clinical laboratory, treatment failures may occur. The saprophyte Hendersonula toruloidea as well as other fungi and yeasts reported to cause such infections have been shown to be clinically indistinguishable from classic dermatophytic "athlete's foot." The clinical and laboratory diagnosis of these types of foot infections caused by Hendersonula toruloidea are described. Specific transport media required for laboratory diagnosis and therapeutic alternatives are reviewed.
除皮肤癣菌外，其他真菌也可引起足部、脚趾和指甲感染，这些感染类似于典型的“足癣”。除非临床实验室通过培养和形态学进行诊断，否则可能会出现治疗失败的情况。腐生菌托兰德亨德逊霉以及其他据报道可引起此类感染的真菌和酵母菌，在临床上已被证明与典型的皮肤癣菌性“足癣”无法区分。本文描述了由托兰德亨德逊霉引起的这类足部感染的临床和实验室诊断方法。还综述了实验室诊断所需的特定运送培养基以及治疗方案。
