“…This pathogen was isolated from lesions of tinea corporis and tinea pedis in Iran [3]. The incidence of this pathogen as a cause of tinea capitis is high in Mexico City and in the USA [28, 29]. Microsporum nanum and Trichophyton equinum were the least frequently isolated dermatophytes.…”

The present study describes the extent and causative agents of dermatophytoses in Sana'a, the capital of Yemen Republic. Out of 1100 patients with various skin diseases, 16.6% were affected with dermatophytoses. Among them, 70% were male and the age group 11-20 years was most susceptible to tinea infections. Tinea corporis was the most common disease, followed by tinea capitis. One hundred and seventy isolates of dermatophytes related to 9 species were identified. Microsporum canis was the most prevalent species, followed by Trichophyton violaceum.

“…The incidence of dermatophytoses in several geographical regions from Mexico have been reported from the cities of Mexico and Guadalajara in the periods 1940–1950, 1960–1970 and 1986–1992, 4, 5 although there were no previous reports of the incidence of these mycoses in the city of Monterrey. The predominance of T. rubrum (45%) in our study represents not only a regional phenomena but a global trend consistent with data from many other geographical regions such as Japan, the USA and other parts of the world 6–8 .…”

“…There are many species of dermatophytes affecting humans, and their distribution widely varies depending on the geographical area, regional ecology, human migration, etc. To date, there are only a few reports from Mexico, most of them from the centre and western regions of the country with a temperate humid climate 2–5 …”

In the present report we reviewed a total of 2397 cases of dermatophytosis from superficial cutaneous lesions between the years 1978 and 1990. The cases included were from the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital located in the city of Monterrey, México. A total of 726 tinea pedis, 613 tinea unguium, 441 tinea capitis, 395 tinea corporis and 222 tinea cruris cases were observed. The most commonly isolated dermatophyte species was Trichophyton rubrum (45%), followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (23.7%), Trichophyton tonsurans (21%), Microsporum canis (7.1%) and Epidermophyton floccosum (2.5%). Less frequently we isolated Microsporum audouinii, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton violaceum and Trichophyton verrucosum. Most of the cases were observed in the warmest months of the year (from March to September), and were equally distributed in both genders, except for tinea cruris which was more prevalent in men (3.5 : 1 ratio).

“…There have been few reports in the literature of onychomycosis due to Microsporum canis [1–12] and in some cases medical history has revealed previous infection of glabrous skin and of scalp by the same dermatophyte [9–12] and contact with cats [9, 10]. Here we report the first case observed in Siena, in which the principal agent of the dermatophytosis was M. canis , and cats, which are often healthy carriers, were the main source of infection [13].…”
