Superficial mycoses are limited to skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. The most common etiological agents are dermatophytes and yeasts of Candida genus. The aim of this work was to know the etiological agents of dermatomycoses and their clinical presentation. Were analized 2073 samples of skin, hair, nails, and oral mucous membranes obtained from 1817 patients who attended the Microbiology Branch of the Central Laboratory at Dr. J. M. Cullen Hospital, since September 1999 to September 2003. The samples were examined and identified according to the localization and type of lesion. Out of the total samples 55.67% were positive; 63% were recovered from females, and 37% from males. The most common localization was the skin. Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequent dermatophyte, and among yeasts, Candida albicans was the prevalent species. Fourteen non-dermatophytic fungi (Fusarium spp. and Aspergillus spp.) were isolated, and considered emergent pathogens from superficial mycoses.
浅部真菌病局限于皮肤、毛发、指甲和黏膜。最常见的病原体是皮肤癣菌和念珠菌属酵母菌。本研究的目的是了解皮肤真菌病的病原体及其临床表现。对1999年9月至2003年9月期间在J.M.卡伦博士医院中央实验室微生物科就诊的1817例患者的2073份皮肤、毛发、指甲和口腔黏膜样本进行了分析。根据病变部位和类型对样本进行检查和鉴定。在所有样本中,55.67%呈阳性;63%来自女性,37%来自男性。最常见的发病部位是皮肤。红色毛癣菌是最常见的皮肤癣菌,在酵母菌中,白色念珠菌是最常见的菌种。分离出14种非皮肤癣菌真菌(镰刀菌属和曲霉属),并被认为是浅部真菌病的新兴病原体。
