Dermatophytic infections, common superficial fungal infections in Mexico, affect 5% of dermatology outpatients. This review covers etiological agents and uncommon infections, including those in diabetic patients and animals.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Superficial fungal infections, known as dermatophytoses, are prevalent in Mexico, with an estimated 5% occurrence in dermatology outpatient settings.
  • This review synthesizes current knowledge on dermatophytic infections, focusing on their prevalence and etiological agents within the Mexican context.
  • Recent publications from the last decade are prioritized to provide an up-to-date overview.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive global overview of dermatophytic infections.
  • To identify and analyze the etiological agents responsible for common and uncommon dermatophytoses.
  • To examine the specific impact of these infections on vulnerable populations, including diabetic patients and animals.

Summary:

  • The review details common dermatophytoses like tinea capitis, tinea pedis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and onychomycosis.

  • It also addresses less common infections such as tinea imbricata and diaper area epidermophytosis.
  • Analysis extends to dermatophytic infections in diabetic patients, healthy carriers, and both domestic and laboratory animals.

    • Impact:

    • This review consolidates key dermatological, epidemiological, and mycological research on dermatophytosis in Mexico.
    • It serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers seeking information on these common fungal infections.
    • The findings contribute to a better understanding of the epidemiology and management of dermatophytoses in Mexico and potentially other regions.
