ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although tinea pedis is one of the most prevalent diseases caused by dermatophytes, there have been few studies about distribution of dermatophytes on infected soles for this disease in Korea.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the distribution of dermatophytes on infected sole using the new direct culture method (Foot-press method).METHODS:
The infected soles of 39 patients were directly pressed onto Sabouraud's dextrose agar with cycloheximide prepared in a large culture dish for a few seconds. The culture media were then incubated at 25degrees C for 1-4 weeks. RESULTS AND CONDLUSION 1. Dermatophyte colonies were isolated from twenty-eight patients (71.8%). 2. Twenty-four of the isolated dermatophytes were Trichophyton (T.) rubrum (85.7%), and the rest were T. mentagraphytes (14.3%). 3. The number of isolated colonies from each patient range from 1 to 102 (Mean+/-SD, 12.8+/-20.7). Three isolated colonies were most common. 4. The isolation frequencies were higher in the patients of keratotic type and in those with tinea unguium (p<0.05). 5. Positive rate was highest in patients with widely-spread lesion (p<0.05).
