Between June 1988 and December 1990, 1018 cases of superficial mycoses were investigated. Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopic examination in 503 cases and the causal agent was isolated in 490 cases. Tinea capitis accounted for 47.7% (92.5% in children below 10 years of age). The frequency of other clinical types in descending order was pityriasis versicolor 25.8%, tinea corporis 9%, onychomycosis 5.8%, tinea pedis 4%, intertrigo 3.9% and tinea cruris 2.8%. Erythrasma was encountered three times and mixed piedra and trichomycosis axillaris once. Microsporum canis was the commonest aetiological agent, responsible for 46.9% of ringworm infections. Malassezia furfur was the next most common agent (26.5%) followed by Candida albicans (8.6%) and Trichophyton violaceum (8.2%). Other species were found less frequently. T.simii was isolated from four cases of tinea cruris and one each of tinea capitis and tinea corporis, and Piedraia hortae and Trichosporon beigelii from a case of mixed piedra infection.
1988年6月至1990年12月期间,对1018例浅表真菌病病例进行了调查。503例经显微镜检查确诊,490例分离出病原体。头癣占47.7%(10岁以下儿童中占92.5%)。其他临床类型出现频率由高到低依次为花斑癣25.8%、体癣9%、甲癣5.8%、足癣4%、擦烂红斑3.9%和股癣2.8%。红癣出现3例,混合性毛结节病和腋毛菌病各出现1例。犬小孢子菌是最常见的病原体,占癣病感染的46.9%。其次是糠秕马拉色菌(26.5%),然后是白色念珠菌(8.6%)和紫色毛癣菌(8.2%)。其他菌种较少见。石膏样小孢子菌从4例股癣、1例头癣和1例体癣病例中分离得到,何德氏毛结节菌和白吉利丝孢酵母从1例混合性毛结节病感染病例中分离得到。
