    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Limited data existed on dermatophyte species and infections in Iceland before 1982.
    • Understanding fungal prevalence is crucial for public health and treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the predominant dermatophyte species causing infections in Iceland.
    • To determine the common sites of dermatophyte infections in the Icelandic population.

    Main Methods:

    • Fungal cultures were performed on 96 patients between 1983 and 1984.
    • Isolates were identified to determine species of dermatophytes.

    Main Results:

    • Trichophyton tonsurans was the most frequently isolated dermatophyte.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum were the next most common isolates.
  • Infections predominantly affected the feet and toenails; tinea capitis and tinea corporis were rare.

    • Conclusions:

    • Trichophyton tonsurans was identified as the leading cause of dermatophytosis in Iceland during the study period.
    • Foot and toenail infections were the most prevalent clinical presentations.
    • This study established baseline data on dermatophyte epidemiology in Iceland.
