Abstract

In the present study, we determined the frequency of superficial and cutaneous mycoses and their etiologic agents during a 7-year period (2002-2008) in Natal, Brazil. A total of 1,717 specimens of skin, nail, and hair were collected from 1,382 patients with suspected mycoses lesions and were then subjected to direct microscopy and culture.

Keywords: Cutaneous mycoses; Dermatophytes; Fungal infections; Superficial mycoses.; Yeasts.
