Objective: A clinico-mycological study was conducted to assess the profile of dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes in patients with superficial mycoses of scalp. Methods:  This Descriptive cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Microbiology, Basic Medical Sciences Institute, in collaboration with Department of Dermatology, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi. The study was carried out from May 2019 to September 2019. A total of 114 children were enrolled in the study having a clinical diagnosis of superficial mycoses of scalp. The hair specimens and scales from the scalp were collected. The specimens were processed for wet mounts (KOH and CFW staining) and mycological culture.  . Results: The most common clinical presentation was found to be dermatophytoses (28%). Non-dermatophytoses was seen in 16.1% cases, while 55.2% cases were culture negative. The most common isolated dermatophyte was Trichophyton violaceum (35.4%), while among non-dermatophyte molds, Aspergillus spp accounted for 45% of cases. Conclusion: The unambiguous diagnosis of scalp mycoses can be made by mycological culture and conventional techniques like KOH mounts and CFW staining.

Die mit dem Aufkommen der elektronischen Medien einhergehende Informationsflut hat die Erwartungen an den Dokumentationsdienst (DOKDI) der Schweizerischen Akademie der Medizinischen Wissenschaften verändert: Insbesondere Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) verlangt nicht nur die Beschaffung von Information, sondern auch eine Selektion hinsichtlich Qualität und Relevanz: Die sich aus der klinischen Situation ergebende Frage fordert eine Antwort, die inhaltlich richtig ist und in der konkreten Situation auch weiterhilft. Dem Ideal, sich durch kritische Lektüre der Originalarbeiten ein Bild über die vorhandene Evidenz für die Richtigkeit eines bestimmten Prozederes zu verschaffen, stehen in der Praxis meist Zeitmangel und methodische Schwierigkeiten im Weg; man wird sich deshalb oft auf die durch andere erarbeitete Evidenz abstützen müssen und z.B. die Cochrane Library konsultieren. Der DOKDI engagiert sich sowohl bei der Erarbeitung von systematischen Übersichtsarbeiten als auch bei der Dissemination der gefundenen Evidenz, indem er seine Erfahrung in der Dokumentation mit elektronischen Medien und die entsprechende Infrastruktur zur Verfügung stellt. Als Ergänzung zu diesen Aktivitäten hat die Akademie einen Grant zur Ausbildung von EBM-Tutoren gesprochen. In einem einwöchigen Kurs in Oxford werden Kliniker zu EBM-Tutoren ausgebildet: Dies wird zukünftig ermöglichen, vermehrt EBM-Workshops in der Schweiz durchzuführen.
