Divya G, Jayakar Thomas

Abstract :

Aim: To observe the different patterns of dermatophytosis

Patients and methods: A total of 100 patients with untreated dermatophytosis were included in this study. All the patients were subjected to:

·        Complete history

·        General and dermatological examination

·        Clinical photographs

·        Skin scrapings

Results: Of the 100 patients in our study, 39 patients showed a combination of tinea corporis and tinea cruris which was succeeded closely by tinea corporis.

Conclusion: Tinea corporis and tinea cruris synchronizing together was the most common presentation and our study also showed a male predilection. Tinea corporis was the commonest type irrespective of any concomitantly occurring other site involvement.
