MSG 24 – Trichophyton Mentagrophytes Genotype VII Case Registry Study

Overview:
Have you seen a patient with Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII (TMVII) in your practice? If so, you are invited to participate in a research study (registry) focused on collecting cases of Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII (TMVII) infection. TMVII is an emerging strain of dermatophyte causing dermatophytosis (ringworm) associated with sexual transmission among men who have sex with men. TMVII cases can be more severe than traditional dermatophyte infections, resulting in pain and scarring. This strain has recently been identified in the United States.

The purpose of this registry study is to gain a comprehensive understanding of TMVII spread in the United States and understand the disease burden within the affected population.

While we will not be collecting any protected health information (PHI) from patient cases, we will ask for your contact information so that we can reach out if we have questions about your case or wish to discuss findings and potential publication opportunities.
