Clinical Manifestations of Dermatophytoses: A Review
Dr. Seema Bhadauria, Mr. Sachin Kumar
Abstract :
Dermatophytic infections have been considered to be a major public health problem in several parts of the world. They are gerenated by the dermatophytic fungi which produce extracellular enzymes known as keratinases. Keratinases enzyme is capable for hydrolyzing to keratin substrate. Environmental factors play main role in the growth and sporulation of dermatophytic fungi. Dermatophytoses poses a serious alarm to the sociologically backward and economically poor population of India. Jaipur has got a dry climate but in the summer, the temperature exceeds even 46°C with high humidity during the monsoon season. These extreme climatic conditions favor the occurrence of fungal infections. The infections are caused by 40 species of fungi which are grouped into three anamorphic genera; Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton which are distributed around the world. Infections caused by these fungi are also known by the names “Tinea” and “Ringworm.” The major etiologic agents may be worldwide, such as T. ruum, while the distribution of others may vary geographically. Dermatophytoses consist of tinea barae, tinea faciei, tinea incognito, tinea capitis, tinea favosa, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea manuum, tinea pedis, and tinea unguium.
