Abstract

 

Background :

Dermatophytosis is a disease across globe with major public health problem almost causing mobidity.

 

Objectives :

To study the prevelance of fungi spectrum which are implicated in causing infections.

 

Method :

Skin mostly of exposed surface weretaken in study in brush biopsy scrapings were collected from 400 patients and eveluated under microscope with various special stains including microbiological culture for identifying their characters.

 

Result:

Tinea Capitis was the predominant manifestation consisting of 60% of cases. Among 159 patients with Tinea Capatis 80% were in age group of 5 – 20 years of age. Out of 308 study ,213 ( 67% - 98%) found positive for dermatophytosis microbiologically. Among 90 cases , Tinea Violaceum resresented in 45.5 % of non – dermatophytic molds.

 

Conclusion :

Failure of detection in a large number of clinical sample including limited clinical diagnosis from other skin manifestations should be evaluated with full clinical history including pathological findings under microscope. Dermatophytic fungi shows emerging important cases of dermatophytosis warning the implementation of epidemology across the country.
