We decided to carry out this study to highlight the risk factors, clinical presentations and
prognosis for AFS in the neonatal care department at Al-Assad University Hospital in Lattakia,
and thus reaching conclusions and recommendations that avoid
high incidence rates of this lifethreatening
condition. The aim of the study was to shed light on the clinical and laboratory
characteristics of the AFS when developing the diagnosis and to study its potential risk factors for
its occurrence of neonates in the department of neonatal care. The gold standard for diagnosing
AFS in our study was the positive results of blood culture by isolating fungal yeasts from all
neonates of the study sample.
The objective of this research was to study the causes , symptoms
and diagnosis of otitis externa in cats, and to investigation the effect
, breed, season on the rate of affection in the veteriniary faculity in
hama university.
The number of case
s was( 346) wich was broght to the
veterinary teaching hosbital in Hama university and from special
clinics.

Background& Objective: Onychomycosis is a frequent nail disease caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and
non-dermatophyte molds. Far more than being a simple cosmetic problem, infected nail serves as a
chronic reservoir, which can give rise to repeated
mycotic infections.
This study aim to identify the common fungal species which are responsible for onychomycosis in
clinically suspected patients of onychomycosis in Dermatology and Venereal Diseases Hospital in
Damascus between October 2010 and July 2011.
Materials & Methods: Both direct microscopy and culture of the nail material were performed to identify
the causative fungi of onychomycosis.
Results: Culture positivity was obtained in 65 of the 76 clinically suspected samples, etiological fungal
agents were (%61.5) dermatophytes, (24.6%) yeasts, and (13.9 %) non-dermatophyte molds . The isolated
fungal species were (43.1%) Trichophyton Rubrum and (16.9%) T. Interdigitale (1.5%) T.Verrucosum
Aspergillus Versicolor which was the most frequent non dermatophyte molds. Females were affected in
fingernails more frequently than males, while males were affected in toenails more frequently than
females, and in both sexes those most infected were between 20-40 years of age.
Conclusion: Dermatophytes, in particular T. rubrum, but also T. Interdigitale, are the most frequently
isolated causative agents in onychomycosis in patients seen in Dermatology and Venereal Diseases
Hospital in Damascus . In addition, yeasts may be isolated relatively frequently, while molds are
uncommon.
Sixty yeasts spp. were isolated from samples of whey which collected from
different locations in Syria. These yeasts were classified morphologically
according to Barnett’s and physiologically by API technique to identify the
species of Yeasts, whe
re had found 10 classified yeasts as follows:
Candida krusei is the most of yeasts which founded in whey with 21.66 %,
and in the Second rank is Candida lusitaniae with 16.66 %. the third rank came
(Geotrichum capitatum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rhodotorula minuta) with
11.66%, after that the Candida magnolia is ranked in the fourth rank by
distributing with 8.33%. as soon as the Candida famata came in the fifth rank
with 6.66%, and in the sixth rank we founded Candida lipolytica with 5%,
finally the Rhodotorula. mucilaginosa and Candida. kefyr came in the last rank
with 3.33%, so we noticed the variety of the yeasts in the studied locations in
Syria.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, researchers have isolated and
dentified spreaded and adapted yeasts to variow environmental conditions and
the types of the mediums in which they graw. The industrial features of the
isolated genera, e
specially those used in the food processing and the stability of
their genetic characteristics were studied. Yeasts in medical and industrial
fields were also improved.
