[The fungi causing superficial mycoses found in and around Ankara]

In this research the agents in the specimens taken from 400 patients whose diagnosis were superficial cutaneous infection were investigated. The specimens were collected from the Dermatology Clinics of Hacettepe Hospital and Numune Hospital. As a result of our experiments we isolated T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, E. floccosum, T. schoenleini, M. canis, T. violaceum, M. audouini, M. gypseum. It is also established that beside C. albicans, other Candida species are also the causes of cutaneous fungus infection.
