Ihotautia, jota aiemmin on esiintynyt vain eläimillä, on nyt löydetty homomiehiltä, jotka eivät ole olleet tekemisissä eläinten kanssa, vaan tauti on levinnyt läheisessä kontaktissa toiseen mieheen. Kannattaa tsekata kuvat alla linkistä ja hakeutua hoitoon, jos huomaa tuollaisia rakkuloita. Lääkärille kannattaa mainita tästä, sillä peruslekurit eivät ole edes kuulleet tästä, esim. Duodecim/Terveyskirjasto ei myöskään vielä tunne tautia.
Transmission of Dermatophilus congolensis among men who have sex with men (MSM) has recently been described in several European countries [8]. We report four cases diagnosed in Stockholm, Sweden, during the period March to June 2026.
All four patients were men who have sex with men (MSM) using emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). During case investigations, each patient reported potential exposures before symptom onset, including attendance at sex clubs, gay saunas or spas where environmental exposure, sexual contact or both may have occurred. None of the patients reported contact to livestock or domestic animals. None had chronic skin disease or immunosuppression, and none developed systemic symptoms. Secondary cases were not identified.
