Abstract
During the years 1981-1990 Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequent causative agent of dermatophytic infections in Northern Greece, especially in cases of tinea pedis, cruris, corporis, and unguium, as well as dermatophytosis of the hands. Between sexes there was a prevalence in women in tinea pedis and toenail infections. Men were particularly infected in the groin, the hands and the face. The chronic follicular dermatophytosis in the lower legs was also presented in women, but tinea corporis and fingernail infections showed no significant differences between the sexes. Also studied were the age of the patients, the inflammatory component of the lesions and the morphotypes of T. rubrum isolated.Keywords
