Superficial mycoses in the Nis region, Southeast-Serbia

Abstract: AbstractThe aim of the study is to investigate the most frequent cause of superficial mycoses in patients from the territory of city Niš Southeast Serbia in the period from 1998 to 2010. A total of 3223 samples from 2887 patients with suspected dermatomycoses were examined.

“…As opposed to IFI, superficial fungal infections (SFI) of the keratin rich structures are rare systemic and serious. These infections are caused commonly by dermatophytes, yeasts or non-dermatophytic molds and represent one of the dominant infections worldwide with global prevalence ranges from 22-25% [6,7]. The lack of rapid diagnostic methods for SFI consequently influence that only 3% of physicians in general practice and 40% dermatologists require mycological analyses before prescription of empiric treatment with systemic antifungals [8].…”
