BACKGROUND: Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection that has emerged as a significant public health concern. The present study investigated the clinical and mycological characteristics of dermatophytosis from the central India rural tertiary care hospital.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinicomycological profile of dermatophytosis from the tertiary care hospital in central India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 95 patients with suspected dermatophytosis were enrolled during a period of 1 year and 9 months. Demographic details, clinical history and clinical samples from infected sites (skin, hair and nail) were collected after patient consent. Dermatophytes' growth was identified based on the phenotypic methods.
RESULTS: A total of 95 clinically diagnosed dermatophytosis cases were enrolled, and the most common clinical manifestation was tinea corporis 73.68% (n = 70), followed by tinea cruris 9.47% (n = 9). In addition, 52.63% (n = 50) were females and 47.37% (n = 45) were males. A higher number of cases accounted for chronic dermatophytosis (50.52%), followed by recurrent dermatophytosis (40%). The contact history of animal and soil contact was found to be 11.57% each. Of the 95 samples, dermatophyte growth was observed in 44.21% (n = 42) isolates, where Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex was the predominant organism 33.68% (n = 32), followed by Trichophyton rubrum 9.47% (n = 9) and Trichophyton tonsurans, 1.05% (n = 1).
CONCLUSION: T. mentagrophyte complex is the predominant dermatophyte in central India. Tinea corporis is a significant clinical finding reported; further, the animal's contact history is an essential risk factor associated with this disease.
