“…The cases of tinea pedis most often showed fine scaling over the soles and hyperkeratosis; the same held true for patients with tinea manuum. In several of our cases, this organism was isolated from vesicles, which also has been reported previously by Graham et al [3], It is interesting to note that Weidman [6] did not isolate T. rubrum in 1927. Whereas 20 years later, he isolated E. floccosum, T. interdigitale and T. rubrum in the ratio 1:34:15 [7], In present studies T. rubrum has become the most often isolated causative organism of tinea pedis, and the ratio has become 1:5.3:16.7.…”

During the period July 1, 1976, to December 31, 1978,1,227 dermatophytes were isolated from 2,702 specimens taken from suspected cases of dermatophytosis. The dermatophytic flora was found to consist mainly of anthropophilic species. Trichophyton rubmm was by far the most frequently isolated species. Tinea capitis was caused in 36.1% of all cases by Trichophyton verrucosum, in 13.9% by Microsporum canis and Trichophyton violaceum, in 11.1% by Trichophyton schoenleinii and Trichophyton granulosum, in 5.·5% by Microsporum audouinii and in 2.8% by Trichophyton sulfureum and Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum gypseum. Athlete’s foot was caused in the ratio 1:5.3:16.7 by Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton interdigitale and T. rubrum.

“…80-82% of tinea pedis, tinea unguium and tinea manuum was due to T. rubrum. Weidman [5] was unable to isolate T. rubrum ih the Philadelphia area in 1927; and now the incidence of this or ganism has increased to more than 50% in that area [2].…”

A total of 1,101 patients was studied for the incidence and distribution of dermatophytes in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1974 to 1978. 267 dermatophytes were isolated and identified. Trichophyton rubrum and Triehophyton tonsurans were the most prevalent dermatophytes. T. rubrum caused 83% of tinea pedis, 82% of tinea unguium, 80% of tinea manuum and 66% of tinea cruris. T. tonsurans was the major cause of tinea capitis (60%) followed by Microsporum canis. Microsporum audouinii was not encountered in this survey.

“…The most complete work conducted along these lines, that the author could find, was performed by Dr. Fred D. Weidman (12). He found that various types of fungi in culture were killed within 10 minutes at 48C and that some species were yet more susceptible and were killed within five minutes.…”
