Among 233 patients, 233 strains of Candida(C.) species were isolated and identified by Sabouraud's dextrose agar culture, germ tube test and sugar assimilation test using API 20C kit. RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
1. The incidence of superficial cutaneous candidiasis was 4.0% out of a total of 5,809 out-patients. 2. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.11. 3. Among the age groups, the incidence rate was high in the first decade and above sixth decade. 4. Candidal intertrigo was the most common type of infection(56.7%). 5. Among 233 Candida species C. albicans(90.6%), C. parapsilosis(4.7%), C. guilliermondii(2.1%), C. tropicalis(1.7%), C. glabrata(0.9%) were identified. 6.
