تم من خلال هذا البحث دراسة ٤١٥ حالة راجعت مشفى الجلدية بجامعة دمشق و العيادات الشاملة في مدينة دمشق من بداية شهر شباط ٢٠٠١ حتى نهاية شهر شباط ٢٠٠٢ حيث بلغت أعلى نسبة لعدد الإصابات المسجلة في مدينة دمشق و ريفها (٩٠ %) و لدى إجراء الفحص المجهري المباشر لوحظت العناصر الطفيلية عديمة السوط في ٢٧١ حالة و ازداد عدد الحالات الإيجابية إلى ٣٦٤ حالة لدى إجراء الاستنبات على الوسط الصنعي .N.N.N مما يؤكد ضرورة إجراء كلا الاختبارين لحسم سلبية التشخيص أو إيجابيته.
In this study the total of ٤١٥ cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis was evaluated from Dermatology hospital and General clinic in Damascus from February ٢٠٠١ to February ٢٠٠٢. Most of these cases was reported in Damascus and its suburb, and when we made the direct microscopic test, amastigotes were detectable in ٢٧١ cases, and the positive cases was increased to ٣٦٤ cases by realizing the parasite culture into diphasic N. N. N. media, which confirm the diagnosis.

Through this research, case studies were reviewed which reviewed the dermatology department at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia and specialized centers for leishmaniasis and parasitic diseases in Lattakia and Tartous governorates from the beg
inning of April 2018 until the end of December 2019. Where Syria is one of the areas endemic with cutaneous leishmaniasis, as we have noticed in recent years the number of skin infections has increased dramatically in all Syrian governorates, which has made leishmaniasis an important health problem that warrants study. In order to isolate and determine the type and strains of the parasite responsible for skin injuries in Syria, in order to develop a plan to combat this disease and limit its spread. Microscopy and transplantation methods are the gold standard for diagnosing cutaneous leishmaniasis, especially in poor areas where this disease is common. Through this study it was found that the age group most exposed to infection is between 16 - 40 years and that the highest incidence was among males. As for the distribution of skin lesions, the highest percentage was recorded on the face, upper and lower extremities.
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.
According to the high specificity and sensitivity of ELISA test, we tried in
this preliminary study, to certify the usefulness of ELISA test in the detection of
specific antibodies (IgG) to cutaneous leishmaniasis(CL) in SYRIA, in order to
certify
the diagnosis of this disease by using the classic methods (observation
microscopic – culture).
Tinea capitis (TC) is a common superficial fungal infection of the scalp caused
by dermatophytes, mainly by the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum.It is primarily a disease of prepubertal
children, being more common in males than females . The eto
logical factors vary from one
region to another and can change within a particular region over time.
This study aim to identify the The most common fungal species which are responsible for producing TC in
children seen in Dermatology and Veneral Diseases Hospital in Damascus.
Parkinson disease is a chronic degenerative disease with worldwide distribution.
It affects all races. Both sexes are nearly equally affected with relative male preponderance. The familial
predisposition in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease was a place of argument for many years.
