ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The prevalence and clinical characteristics of dermatomycosis are not static but change under the influence of various forces such as geographic factor, social environment and development in prophylaxis and treatment.OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the present status of dermatomycosis and changes on the prevalence, sex, age distribution and causative organisms.METHODS:
We performed clinical and mycological studies on 7,785 cases of dermatomycosis among outpatients of Dermatologic clinic of Chonnam University Hospital for 10 years, from January 2001 to December 2010.RESULTS:
The incidence of dermatomycosis was 12.5% of outpatients and show the highest incidence over 7th decades (24.2%). The incidence of tinea pedis (24.1%) was the highest, followed by onychomycosis (18.1%). Coexisting fungal infections were found 693 (9.2%) and the cases of tinea pedis with onychomycosis were the most common. The positive rate of KOH examination was 49.7% and the positive rate of culture on Sabouraud's dextrose agar media was 36.5%. Trichophyton rubrum was the most common causative organism of dermatomycosis (51.1%), followed by Candida species (33.2%).CONCLUSIONS:
Consideration of the changes between current and past epidemiologic, clinical and mycological features in the cutaneous fungal infections are important to investigational efforts, diagnosis, and treatment.
