Abstract: | INTRODUC TI ONDermatophyte infections are a type of infection produced by different groups of pathogenic fungi for humans and some animals. These fungi can invade keratinised structures such as the stratum corneum, hair and nails. 1,2 Dermatophytosis is among the most frequently diagnosed skin infections worldwide. 3,4 It is produced by dermatophytes that can digest and use keratin as a substrate, comprising seven genera with four being recognised as affecting human beings, namely, Trichophyton, Microsporum,… Show more

“…Tinea corporis is a fungal infection primarily caused by Trichophyton rubrum , which affects glabrous skin. 7 , 8 It is the most common form of dermatophytosis; the lifetime risk of developing tinea corporis is estimated to be 10% to 20%. 9 , 10 It frequently occurs in post‐pubertal children and young adults.…”
