“…Tinea cruris variant was observed in 18.23% of cases. In this study, tinea unguium was seen in 4.7% of cases, which is analogous to the studies by Singh and Beena (1.9%) [ 11 ] and Karmakar et al (2.8%) [ 22 ]. However, Bindu et al reported about 13.3% of cases in their study [ 9 ].…”

Introduction Dermatophytosis is a superficial mycosis that affects the keratinized structures of skin, hair, and nails. In recent years, there has been a marked rise in superficial fungal infections in several parts of our country. Most of the cases are presented with chronic, recurrent, and resistant infections. There are no comprehensive data on the status of cases in our area. Currently, we have noticed a gradual decline in the number of cases in our day-to-day outpatient department compared to previous years. Therefore, the current retrospective study was conducted to assess the actual status and clinico-demographic trends of dermatophytosis among patients who visited the tertiary care hospital. Methods The current study is a retrospective study of 78,028 patients of dermatophytosis who reported to the tertiary care hospital. Data like demographic details, clinical examination findings, and laboratory investigation reports of patients were extracted from available records year-wise from 2018 to 2022. Results There was an initial rise of dermatophytosis until 2019 and, thereafter, a downward trend. Males (60.04%) outnumbered females (39.94%) with a proportion of 1.5:1. Most common age group belongs to 21-30 years (28.64%), of which a majority (53.07%) of patients had a disease duration of more than three months. The majority of patients (51.1%) belong to rural backgrounds, but there was urban predominance following the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The most common organism isolated from culture was Trichophyton mentagrophytes (61.98%) in the initial phases (2018 and 2019) and T. rubrum (31.67%) in the later phases (2020-2022). In the current study, a family history of dermatophytosis was present in 27% of cases. Tinea corporis was the most common (34.34%) clinical variant with atopic diathesis as a major co-morbidity (9.94%). Conclusion The findings of this study showed an initial increasing trend until 2019 and, thereafter, a downward trend. Therefore, similar types of studies may be carried out in different parts of the country to assess the actual status and, hence, a better and more efficient management of the disease.

“…These results are comparable to those of additional studies conducted by Sharma et al [19]. Males (48.04%) were more frequently impacted than females (51.96%), according to Madhuri et al [20], whereas Karmarkar et al [21] found that the most common age range affected was 0 to 10 years (28.4%). Because they participate in more physically demanding outdoor activities and perspire more, young boys may have a higher incidence.…”

Infections affecting the superficial keratinized layer of the skin, nails, and hair are referred to as dermatophytosis and dermatomycoses, which constitute the most common type of fungal infection that affects people. This clinical ailment has a prevalence of between 30 and 60% and is more common in India’s hot, muggy, tropical climate. Examining the prevalence of superficial mycoses (SM), their clinical symptoms, and the fungal species that were identified as the disease-causing agents were the main objectives of the current study. This study comprised 250 clinically confirmed patients with SM who visited our dermatology department over the course of a year. Skin scrapings, nail clippings, and hair samples were gathered, mounted, and cultured using KOH. Macroscopic examination of culture, tease mount, and phenotypic tests were used to identify the species. The age group of 11–20 years (29%) had the highest prevalence of SM out of the 250 clinically verified cases of the condition that were included in our study, followed by 21–30 years (20%) and 31–40 years (18%). Candida albicans, dermatophytes, and non-dermatophytic moulds were the three most prevalent fungal isolates. The most typical dermatophyte isolate was T. rubrum, which was primarily found in Tinea corporis (TCo), Tinea cruris (TCr), and Tinea faciei (TFa). T. mentagrophytes was the second most frequent isolate. According to our investigation, it was determined that non-dermatophytic moulds constitute a significant contributor to the development of SM in addition to dermatophytes.

“…The present study shows tinea corporis to be the most common clinical type which is consistent with the studies by Majeed et al and Ramaraj V et al 14,15 But this is contrary to the results of Karmakar et al, who reported tinea cruris and Abu-Elteen and Malek, who reported tinea pedis as the commonest clinical type. 16,17 The second common type encountered was tinea unguium. The high incidence of tinea unguium in the study might be due to the trauma inflicted to the nails during physical work and also the habit of walking or working barefoot.…”

“…But according to other studies T.rubrum is by far the commonest etiological agent in India. [14][15][16][17] The species distribution is dependent on the geographical area. Amel et al reported Trichophyton violaceum was the most common etiological agent followed by Microsporum canis.…”

Dermatophytosis is the most common type of cutaneous fungal infection seen in man infecting the superficial keratinized layer of the skin, hair and nails. The aim of the study is to isolate and identify the dermatophytes from clinically suspected cases of dermatophytosis, to determine the frequency of occurrence of various species of dermatophytes, to know the prevalence of age and sex of dermatophytosis in the locality.: The present study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Medical College and SSG Hospital, Vadodara. A total of 150 clinically diagnosed cases of dermatophytosis were taken for this study. Skin, hair and nail samples were aseptically collected and were subjected to KOH mount examination and culture. Differentiation of the dermatophyte species was performed based on the macroscopic and microscopic examination of culture and physiological test including urease test.: Tinea corporis (41.3%) was the commonest clinical type with a male to female ratio of 1.05:1. Out of these samples, dermatophytes were isolated in 108 cases with the overall isolation rate of 72%. Seven species of dermatophytes were isolated. 53 (49.1%) was the commonest species followed by 22(20.4%).: Identifying dermatophyte species and knowledge of their host preference and ecology play an important role in treating the patient. Correct and efficient laboratory methods for diagnosis of dermatophytosis is the need of the hour to provide correct and timely treatment and prevent the further spread and chronicity of the disease.
