The etiology and clinic of cutaneous mycosis

Human mycoses represent infections with an increasing incidence and location due to the increasing number of favourable factors of occurrence such as prolonged and intensive antibiotic therapy, cytostatic therapy, corticosteroid therapy and suppressed immunity. Our study led to important conclusions regarding the incidence of different mycoses among different groups of age and between the two sexes, their location and their etiology. Candidiases and dermatophytic etiology of different cutaneous and mucosal infections was established using the characteristic laboratory diagnosis for fungal infections in patients hospitalized in Dermatology and Pediatrics Clinic I. Cutaneous mycosis represents the majority of infections and is represented mainly by dermatophytic diseases. The main manifestation within cutaneous mycosis is tinea pedis.
