Abstract
Clinically suspected cases [human; 555] of dermatomycoses were studied for causative fungi and their detailed clinical manifestations. The fungi were demonstrated on routine KOH mount and/or by culture in 464 cases (83.6%). Tinea corporis was the predominant fungal infection (30.6%) and Trichophyton rubrum was the main etiologic agent. Favus (T. schoenleini) was found only in cases from Jammu and Kashmir valleys, India. There was a high incidence of tinea capitis among children. Trichophyton tonsurans was isolated in cases of tinea corporis, tinea cruris and tinea pedis. Trichophyton ferrugineum and T. verrucosum were isolated from cases of tinea capitis; Microsporum gypseum was isolated from tinea cruris infections.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
