RESUMO O estudo avaliou a prevalência da Tinea capitis na população estudantil duma Escola Primária e também identificou os agentes causais responsáveis. Escamas do couro cabeludo foram recolhidas das crianças apresentando sinais clínicos sugestivos de Tinea capitis. Dermatófitos foram identificados seguindo procedimentos micológicos padronizados. Este estudo encontrou uma prevalência clínica de Tinea capitis de 9,6% (110/1149). Os dermatófitos isolados foram Microsporum audouinii, Trichophyton violaceum e Trichophyton mentagrophytes. O agente causal mais prevalente neste estudo foi Microsporum audouinii confirmando os achados dos estudos transversais anteriores levados a cabo na cidade de Maputo.Palavras-chaves: Tinea capitis.

ISOLATION OF DERMATOPHYTES FROM CATS AND DOG ABSTRACTDermatophytosis is an infectious and zoonotic disease caused by fungal agents that affect the keratin layer of hair follicles, nails and epidermis. The causative agents of dermatophytosis are Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton species. In this study, a total of 102 skin scarpings and hair samples taken from cats and dogs with suspected dermatophytosis between 2013 and 2017 at different seasons were investigated. The mycological analyses were conducted by direct microscopy and fungal culture on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. Fifty six out of 102 samples were positive for dermatophytosis. Five (24.83%) Microsporum sp. and 3 (12.50 %) Trichophyton sp. were isolated from 24 materials taken from the cats. Fourty seven (60.25%) Microsporum sp. and 1 (1.28%) Trichophyton sp. were diagnosed from 78 dog based materials. The occurrence of dermatophytosis cases was mostly observed in the spring (82.75%), followed by autumn (64.28%) and summer (38.88%) seasons in cats and dogs. .
