Tinea pedis (fungal infection of the foot) is a common cause of foot dermatitis in children and should be included in the diagnosis of any child presenting with a foot rash. Parents were the source in at least 25% of cases.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Foot dermatitis in children can have various causes.
  • Fungal infections, specifically tinea pedis, are often overlooked in pediatric differential diagnoses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of tinea pedis in pediatric foot dermatitis.
  • To advocate for its inclusion in the differential diagnosis for children with foot rashes.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective patient series was conducted.
  • Data were collected from an outpatient dermatology practice.
  • Included children with culture-proven tinea pedis between 1987 and 1990.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-six children (13 boys, 13 girls) aged 17 months to 18 years were diagnosed with tinea pedis.

  • Fungal cultures confirmed the diagnosis.
  • Parental transmission was identified as the probable source in at least 25% of cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tinea pedis is not uncommon in the pediatric population.
    • It should be a key consideration for any child presenting with a foot rash.
