ABSTRACT

As dermatofitoses são infecções superficiais capazes de produzir lesões em tecidos queratinizados, como pele, pêlo, e unhas. Foram examinados 536 indivíduos procedentes de Barretos, com suspeita clínica de infecções fúngicas, no período de Novembro de 2002 a Outubro de 2003, verificando-se a incidência e a etiologia das dermatofitoses. Material coletado de várias regiões corpóreas foram examinados em microscopia com KOH 10% e cultivados em agar Sabouraud. O microcultivo permitiu identificar o Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton tonsurans e Epidermophyton floccosum. Quantoà localização das lesões, os membros inferiores, pés (55%) e unhas (15%) foram as regiões mais acometidas. Foi analisada a distribuição corporal das lesões de dermatofitoses com os respectivos agentes etiológicos encontrados.


Dermatophytoses are superficial infections that may lead to lesions of keratinized tissues, like skin, hair and nails. A total of 536 individuals from Barretos, SP, with suspected dermatophytic lesions were examined over a period of November (2002) to October (2003) in order to determine the incidence and etiology of dermatophytosis. Material collected from different body parts was submitted to direct microscopic examination using KOH, cultured in Sabouraud agar. Microscopically examined of colony morphology identified Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton tonsurans and Epidermophyton floccosum. Concerning the location of the lesions, the inferior limbs, feet (55%) and nails (15%) were the most frequently found clinical pattern in the majority of patients. The distribution of the different infected body sites was determined in terms of the respectiveetiologic agents found.
