Antifungal Therapy at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic in JBR, Dubai Marina

Fungal infections can affect anyone, and the severity can range from mild to life-threatening. Some common fungal infections treated at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic include:

• Athlete’s Foot: A fungal infection of the skin on the feet, usually caused by fungi like Trichophyton.
• Ringworm: A contagious fungal infection that can affect the skin, scalp, or nails.
• Candidiasis: Caused by the overgrowth of Candida species, this fungal infection can occur in the mouth (oral thrush), genital area, or on the skin.
• Nail Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis): Fungal infections that affect the nails, leading to discoloration, thickening, or brittleness.
• Fungal Pneumonia: Caused by inhaling fungal spores, often found in the environment, affecting the lungs.
• Tinea Versicolor: A fungal infection of the skin that leads to discoloration, usually affecting the trunk, shoulders, and arms.
• Fungal Sinus Infections: Infection in the sinuses caused by various fungal species.

The symptoms of fungal infections vary depending on the location and severity of the infection. Common signs include:

• Itchy skin or irritation, especially in areas prone to moisture.
• Red, inflamed skin with scaling or peeling.
• Cracked or bleeding skin in severe cases, particularly with athlete’s foot or ringworm.
• White or yellow patches in the mouth or on the skin (especially with oral or genital candidiasis).
• Thickened, discolored nails that may become brittle or crumbly.
• Pain or swelling in the affected area.
• Persistent cough or difficulty breathing (for fungal infections in the lungs).

To diagnose a fungal infection accurately, our healthcare professionals at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic in JBR, Dubai Marina use several diagnostic tools:

• Physical Examination: The doctor will review your symptoms and examine the affected area, looking for characteristic signs of fungal infection.
• Microscopic Examination: Scraping from the infected area is examined under a microscope to identify fungal cells or spores.
• Culture Tests: A sample of the infected tissue is cultured to identify the specific type of fungus causing the infection.
• Blood Tests: In some cases, especially for systemic fungal infections, blood tests may be conducted to detect fungal markers.
• Skin Biopsy: For deep infections, a small tissue sample may be taken for further examination.

Once diagnosed, Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic provides a range of antifungal treatments depending on the type of infection:

• Topical Antifungals: These include creams, ointments, and powders applied directly to the skin or nails. They are typically used for skin infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, or nail fungal infections.
• Oral Antifungals: For more severe or widespread fungal infections, oral antifungal medications, such as fluconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine, may be prescribed.
• Intravenous Antifungals: For life-threatening systemic fungal infections, antifungal therapy may be administered intravenously (IV), especially for infections like fungal pneumonia or invasive candidiasis.
• Topical Antifungal Sprays: For scalp infections or areas that are difficult to treat with creams, sprays may be used to deliver the medication directly to the infected area.
• Antifungal Shampoos: These are used for scalp fungal infections, including dandruff caused by fungal overgrowth.
