A TEN-YEAR SURVEY OF Tinea pedis IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF THE RIO GRANDE DO SUL, BRAZIL

Abstract: Tinea pedis in the most common type of dermatophytosis, but can mimic many cutaneous diseases and tend to be chronic. We present a study of the frequency, epidemiology and clinical aspects of tinea pedis in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul during the period 1988-1997.

“…T. mentagrophytes was the fourth species most frequently detected in the present study, mainly involving hands and nails. In other Brazilian studies carried out at different times, this species was the second most common 8,12,13,31,32,36 and occasionally predominated in tinea pedis ("athlete's foot") 8,12,13,31,32,36 .…”

“…In the present study, T. tonsurans was the third most frequent species, predominantly causing lesions on the scalp. In South region of Brazil, T. tonsurans was rarely isolated 29,30,31,32,48 , although it was responsible for microepidemics in Rio Grande do Sul 33 . In the North and Northeast regions, this agent is the most prevalent in scalp infections 4,6,40,41 .…”

“…O Trichophyton rubrum é o agente antropofílico mais freqüentemente isolado na Europa, América do Sul e América do Norte. 2,5,6,9,10,13,16,18,19 Para o diagnóstico das dermatofitoses é importante observar o local da coleta, preferencialmente nas regiões periféricas, onde se encontram os elementos fúngicos mais ativos, e nas lesões ungueais no limite entre a parte normal e a afetada. 18 Algumas culturas negativas podem ter explicação em uma possível inviabilidade das hifas e artroconídios observados no exame direto, na contaminação da cultura com fungos saprófitas, apesar do uso de meio seletivo ou ainda por técnica de cultivo inadequada.…”

“…7,9,10 Em estudo realizado em São Paulo esse agente ficou em quarto lugar (7,3%), o que, segundo os autores, pode ser explicado pela melhor adaptação do Trichophyton rubrum, uma vez que esses dois dermatófitos dividem as mesmas características ecológicas. 2 O Trichophytom mentagrophytes produz lesões inflamatórias que podem curar espontaneamente.…”
