| description | Zhen Li, Jiejie Lu, ZhiLi Yang Plastic and Cosmetic Center, The Fifth People’s Hospital of Hainan Province, Haikou, Hainan, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: ZhiLi Yang; Jiejie Lu, Email 316940160@qq.com; lujiejie677@163.comAbstract: Superficial mycoses are characterized by the infection of keratinized tissues such as the epidermis, hair, and nails. A 52-year-old woman from Hainan Province, China is reported in this study. The patient presents with large erythematous scales on her head, face, and disfigured nails over a 2-year period. The fungal infection was further aggravated by the patient’s 10-year history of SLE and long-term immunosuppressive drug therapy. Ultimately, Fungal microscopy and culture results were consistent with superficial mycosis. After 6 months of treatment with terbinafine and itraconazole, the patient’s rash subsided, and fungal microscopy was negative. There was no recurrence after six months of follow-up.Keywords: superficial mycosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, treatment |
