[Dermatophytoses found at the Pasteur Institute of Tunis. Apropos of 697 cases]

A study about 697 patients with fungous injuries of scalp and hairless skin shows that 50% of scalp lesions and 16% of hairless skin lesions are dermatophyties. The incidence of dermatophytes is stable since the last study of Juminer in Tunis (1964); Trichophyton violaceum is the most identified fungous; however, we attend the push of zoo-anthropophil dermatophytes, so that Microsporum canis.
