Background: Although dermatophytes are found throughout the world, the most prevalent strains and the most common sites of infection vary by region. Hot, humid climates and overcrowding predispose populations to skin diseases; including tinea infections. This study highlights the clinical pattern and epidemiological characteristics of dermatophyte infection in the Malwa region of Punjab.Methods: A cross sectional prospective study was carried out over a period of two years depending on pre-structured questionnaire on a total of 272 patients clinically suspected cases with dermatophyte infection. Socio-demographic and clinical information was collected and sample was taken. The collected samples were subjected to direct microscopy with potassium hydroxide and cultured on Sabourauds dextrose agar to identify the fungal speciesResults: A total of 272 patients were included in the study in which 147 were males and 125 were females. Occupation wise housewives were the most affected group constituting 114 cases. Tinea corporis was the most common type found in 159 cases and Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the most common isolated fungi. Maximum number of dermatophyte cases was in the age group of 21-30 years with 69 cases.Conclusions: In current research we observed that hot and humid environment of Malwa region of Punjab increases the prevalence of fungal infection especially in the month of June to September and the occupation of people also plays an important role in prevalence of infection. We also observed that dermatophyte fungal infection is more common in adult males as compare to females.

Objective: This study was undertaken to study the clinico-mycological profile of clinically suspected cases of onychomycosis in the region. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 65non-repetitive, clinically diagnosed cases of onychomycosis visiting Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy OPD of People’s Hospital, Bhopal were included. Nail clippings and scraping beneath the nails were taken from the affected sites. Collected specimens were subjected to standard mycological procedures. Results: Males were more affected than females. The male to female ratio was 1.4:1. Distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO) was the commonest clinical pattern. Out of the total 35 fungal culture isolates, dermatophytes (71.43%) were the most common. Among dermatophytes, Trichophyton rubrum and among non-dermatophytes, Candida spp. was the most common isolate. Conclusion: Dermatophytes were the most common aetiological agent of onychomycosis in our study with Trichophyton rubrum as the most common isolate. This study also reveals the fact that nowadays, non, dermatophytes are increasingly isolated from cases of onychomycosis.
