Abstract
An attempt has been made to establish the nature of the ringworm flora of Birmingham, comprising: (1) the species encountered; (2) their relative concentration; (3) their distribution.A marked increase in the number of cases due to fungi of animal origin has been demonstrated.It has been shown that the main reservoir of infection in the city is centred upon Sparkbrook and Balsall Heath, with a rather smaller focus in the Hockley–Lozells area.Keywords
