    This study identified causative fungi in 83.6% of suspected dermatomycoses cases. Tinea corporis, caused mainly by T. rubrum, was the most common fungal infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Dermatomycoses represent a significant public health concern globally.
    • Accurate identification of causative fungi and their clinical patterns is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the spectrum of fungal agents responsible for dermatomycoses.
    • To correlate specific fungal species with their clinical manifestations in suspected cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of 555 suspected dermatomycoses cases.
    • Microscopic (KOH mount) and cultural methods for fungal identification.
    • Data analysis of infection prevalence and etiological agents.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Fungi were identified in 464 cases (83.6%) through KOH mount and/or culture.
    • Tinea corporis was the most prevalent infection (30.6%), with T. rubrum as the primary agent.
    • Specific fungal species like T. tonsurans, T. ferrugineum, T. verrucosum, and M. gypseum were isolated from various tinea types.

    Conclusions:

    • Dermatomycoses are frequently caused by specific dermatophyte species.
    • Geographical variations exist, as seen with Favus (T. schoenleini) in specific regions.
    • Tinea capitis shows a high incidence in pediatric populations, necessitating targeted interventions.
