Nine-yeаr-оld Sаrаh cоmplains tо her mother about a large spot on her arm that itches. On closer inspection, it is a red circular spot with a raised edge. The next day, her parents take her to the doctor. The doctor examines the lesion using a Wood’s lamp, which emits ultraviolet light. The spot fluoresces, confirming the doctor’s suspicion. What condition does Sarah have? [color1] Sarah’s mother is mortified to hear that her daughter has a “worm.” Looking uncomfortable, Sarah says, “I want this worm out of me.” The doctor laughs and explains that it is not an actual worm. “Then what is it?” asks Sarah. What type of pathogen causes ringworm? [color2] The doctor cleans and scrapes the lesion to place a specimen on a slide. Under the microscope, macro- and microconidia of Trichophyton rubrum are visible, along with cell walls. In this picture it is possible to see macro- and microconidia in Trichophyton rubrum. Cell walls are also visible. What carbohydrate would you expect to find in these cell walls? [color3] Why can you now be sure that this is not caused by a worm (helminth)? [color4] The doctor prescribes a topical cream for Sarah’s mother to apply to the ringworm. If the cream does not work after a couple of weeks, Sarah should return for further testing. Positive identification of dermatophytes requires culturing, often on Sabouraud’s agar, which inhibits bacterial growth due to low acidity (pH 5.6) and contains peptones. Positive identification of dermatophytes requires culturing. For this purpose, Sabouraud’s agar may be used. This agar inhibits the growth of bacteria due to a low acidity (pH 5.6). The agar contains peptones. What kind of exoenzymes would the organism need to break down peptones for nitrogen and vitamin sources? [color5] Dextrose (glucose) is added to the agar as the carbon and energy source. This means that the organism is a [color6]. In the case of Sarah’s infection, which cleared up within 2 weeks of treatment, the culture would have a granular texture and would appear pale pink on top and red underneath. These features suggest that the dermatophyte is Trichophyton rubrum, a common cause of ringworm.
