Tinea pedis, a fungal infection, is uncommon in children but presents similarly to adults, with bullous lesions more frequent. Trichophyton rubrum is the most common cause, particularly in males over 10.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Tinea pedis, a superficial fungal infection, is rarely observed in pediatric populations.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and clinical presentation in children is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze epidemiological and clinical data of tinea pedis cases in children over a 20-year period.
  • To identify predisposing factors for tinea pedis infection in pediatric patients.
  • To compare clinical features of tinea pedis in children versus adults.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of tinea pedis cases in children.
  • Collection and review of epidemiological data (age, sex).
  • Clinical examination and etiological agent identification.

Main Results:

  • Tinea pedis cases were predominantly observed in children over 10 years of age.
  • Males, especially those aged 10-13, showed a higher incidence.
  • Bullous lesions were a more frequent clinical manifestation in children compared to adults.
  • Trichophyton rubrum was identified as the most common causative agent, consistent with adult cases.

Conclusions:

  • Tinea pedis, though unusual, occurs in children and shares etiological agents and some clinical features with adult cases.
  • Specific age groups (over 10) and males are more susceptible.
  • The higher prevalence of bullous lesions in children warrants consideration in clinical diagnosis.
