First Report of Sexually Transmitted Fungal Infection in the United States: JAMA
Thirteen cases of TMVII fungus were reported last year in France, with officials noting a global increase in fungal threats, including T. indotineae in India.
The United States recently identified its first case of a sexually transmitted skin infection caused by the Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII (TMVII) fungus.
A study published in the JAMA Dermatology journal on June 5 outlined the experience of a 30-year-old male suffering from tinea—a fungal skin infection.
The man, who had a history of sexual relations with other men, developed scaly, reddish rashes on his genitalia, arms, legs, and back after travelling within California, England, and Greece.
Analysis revealed that he was infected with TMVII, a sexually transmitted variant of ringworm, and treatment led to improvement in his condition.
