Resumo: | Dermatophytoses are superficial infections that are characterized by the involvement of skin, hair and nails, presenting fungi of the genus Microsporum as important causes of these diseases. Thus, the present study aimed to conduct a literature review on the genus Microsporum, highlighting the possible dermatophytoses that species of this genus can cause, as well as epidemiological, pathogenic, immunological characteristics, the diagnosis and the pharmacological treatment currently employed. M.canis and M.gypseum has been presented as the main species of the genus Microsporum from a clinical-epidemiological point of view, with a predominance of dermatophytoses associated with M. canis. It is observed that fungi of this genus mainly cause tinea capitis and tinea corporis, so that the diagnosis can be of the clinical type, through the analysis of the lesions and, above all, laboratory through microscopy using potassium hydroxide (KOH) for the elucidation of fungal structures. For the infection to occur, the acidity of the skin becomes important, in addition, the immune response has been associated with Toll Like Receptors. Pharmacological treatment can be done with allylamines, azoles or griseofulvin, in which resistance phenomena have already been associated with these drugs. Thus, the data present in this research can guide other studies that focus on fungi of the genus Microsporum. |

Por lo tanto, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre el género Microsporum, destacando las posibles dermatofitosis que pueden causar las especies de este género, así como las características epidemiológicas, patógenas, inmunológicas, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento farmacológico actualmente empleado. M.canis y M. gypseum se han presentado como las principales especies del género Microsporum desde un punto de vista clínico-epidemiológico, con un predominio de dermatofitosis asociadas con M. canis. Se observa que los hongos de este género causan principalmente tinea capitis y tinea corporis, por lo que el diagnóstico puede ser de tipo clínico, a través del análisis de las lesiones y, sobre todo, de laboratorio mediante microscopía con hidróxido de potasio (KOH) para La aclaración de las estructuras fúngicas. Para que ocurra la infección, la acidez de la piel se vuelve importante, además, la respuesta inmune se ha asociado con los receptores Toll Like. El tratamiento farmacológico se puede hacer con alilaminas, azoles o griseofulvina, en los cuales los fenómenos de resistencia ya se han asociado con estos medicamentos. Por lo tanto, los datos presentes en esta investigación pueden guiar otros estudios que se centran en hongos del género Microsporum.As dermatofitoses são infecções superficiais que caracterizam-se pelo acometimento de pele, pelo e unhas, apresentando fungos do gênero Microsporum como importantes causadores dessas afecções. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o gênero Microsporum, destacando-se as possíveis dermatofitoses que espécies desse gênero podem causar, assim como, características epidemiológicas, patogênicas, imunológicas, o diagnóstico e o tratamento farmacológico atualmente empregado. M.canis e M.gypseum tem se apresentado como as principais espécies do gênero Microsporum do ponto de vista clínico-epidemiológico, com predomínio de dermatofitoses associadas a M. canis. Observa-se que fungos desse gênero causam principalmente tinea capitis e tinea corporis, de forma que o diagnóstico pode ser do tipo clínico, através da análise das lesões e, sobretudo, laboratorial por meio de microscopia utilizando-se hidróxido de potássio (KOH) para a elucidação das estruturas fúngicas.
