Abstract:
Dermatophytosis and dermatomycosis in patients reporting to Command Hospital (SC) were studied over a period of 3 years. A total of 126 cases were investigated. Commonest clinical diagnosis was tinea corporis (39.68%) followed by onychomycosis (20.63%). Some patients had infections of multiple sites. Direct examination under KOH and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) revealed fungal elements in 43 (34.12%) cases. Fungi were isolated from 44 (34.92%) cases. Commonly isolated fungi were Candida albicans 11 (25%), Trichophyton spp 8 (18.18%), Microsporum audouinii 2(4.55%) and Epidermophyton floccosum 1(2.27%).

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
