Anonymous question from a subscriber. Please tell me, what are these rods? Is this flora or is it mycelium (pseudomycelium) of yeast-like cells? For comparison, the photos show typical iodophilic flora (clostridia) and typical fungi. Stool, Lugol’s solution (3 photos), last photo - methylene blue, magnification 40x, a couple of photos zoomed in on a phone camera.

Differentiating Leptothrix and Mycelium in Vaginal Smears

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 15:06:08 +0300

How to distinguish fungal mycelium from Leptothrix in a smear? 🔬

Leptothrix and fungal mycelium can look similar in a smear, but there are important differences:

✔ Spores nearby? This is 100% a fungal infection. ✔ Leptothrix – thin, even rods, without branching or spores. ✔ Fungal mycelium – branched threads, often with rounded spores nearby.

Candida of Nails and Skin: KOH Microscopy of Samples

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 09:16:05 +0300

🔬 Blastospores (budding cells) and pseudomycelium of Candida fungi. Fingernail plate (photo 1) and interdigital spaces of the feet (photos 2,3,4), KOH 20%, magnification x400+zoom.

✅ In candidal onychomycosis, paronychia (inflammation of the proximal nail fold) precedes onychomycosis. First, the nail fold reddens, becomes shiny, thickens and swells, changing its shape, which causes the cuticle to separate from the nail plate and break down. Inflammation of the nail fold may be accompanied by pain. The course of paronychia is undulating; the nail is gradually involved.
