چکیده
Background and Purpose: Superficial mycosis is more prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries, such as India. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to determine the epidemiology of superficial mycosis and identify the most common dermatophytic species in this region. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, a total of ۲۲۰ skin scraping, nail, and hair root specimens were collected. Direct microscopic examination was performed using potassium hydroxide mount. Additionally, the samples were inoculated onto Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and dermatophyte test medium (DTM). The fungal colony of each isolates was stained with lactophenol cotton blue mount, and observed under microscope for species identification. Results: Out of ۲۲۰ isolates, ۱۷۲ samples, obtained from ۱۰۸ males ۶۴ females, were positive for skin fungal infections by either KOH mount or culture. Furthermore, ۱۱۳ isolates were identified as dermatophytes, while ۵۹ samples were found to be non-dermatophytes. Among the dermatophytes isolated from different clinical samples, Trichophyton verrucosum (۴۲/۱۱۳, ۳۸%) was the most common species, and Tinea corporis was the most common infection (۳۶.۲%). Conclusion: As the findings indicated, dermatophytes had an isolation rate of ۷۸%, which is higher than normal. This can be due to the fact that the majority of the patients were from a rural background (۷۱.۷%) with a low socioeconomic status and poor personal hygiene who were exposed to climatic changes.کلیدواژه ها
