Abstract

A total of 1244 cases suspected of superficial mycoses were analysed in a period of 12 months in Italy. Dermatophytoses were found in 62.4%; the other common disease was Pityriasis versicolor (44.1%)., The predominant species Epidermophyton floccosum (34,2%) was strikingly high in relation to other statistics; this species was commonest in tinea cruris. Among the other dermatophytes M. canis was predominant (31.3%) commonest in tinea corporis, followed by T. mentagrophytes (17,8%) and T. rubrum (10,3%). A high rate of yeasts was found in tinea manum (81.6%) and tinea pedis (47.7%). ?
