First-Ever TMVII Sexually Transmitted Fungal Infection Detected in NYC
Jun 5, 2024, 04:14 PM
New studies and reports indicate that hard-to-treat fungal skin infections, including ringworm and jock itch, are emerging as a potential public health threat. These infections, caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes Genotype VII (TMVII), have been detected in New York City. TMVII is notable for its ability to spread through sexual contact, marking the first case of a sexually transmitted fungal infection in the United States. A New York man sought help for a telltale rash, representing the first-ever case. Health experts are urging healthcare providers to be vigilant as these infections are highly contagious and difficult to treat.
