Abstract :

Introduction– Dermatophytoses is common worldwide and continue to increases. It is a fungal infection of human predominantly caused by keratinophilic mycelia fungi known as dermatophytes such as Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum AIMS AND OBJECTIVES– To determine prevalence of dermatophytes and species identification. Materials and Methods – Study place– Mycology section of Department of Microbiology, RIMS, Ranchi for a period of 12 months from July 2018 to June 2019. A total 112 clinically diagnosed cases of dermatophytes who presented to veneral and skin department of RIMS, Ranchi were included in our study. After detailed history and clinical examination specimens such as nail, hairs, skin scrapping were sent to department of Microbiology for microscopic examination and fungal culture. Results– In our study male: female ratio is 1.8:1. T.corporis was the most common clinical presentation followed by T. cruris. T.mentagrophytes was most common isolates followed by T.ruam and rest are Microsporum and other Trichophyton species. Conclusion– KOH positive has higher positively rate than culture positive. Family history was present in (43%) of cases. Good hygiene and non–shå behaviour of objects such as towels, handkerchief can prevent transmission and further spread of such infection
