The common cause of skin infections are dermatophytes and opportunistic fungi. Aim of present study is to find predominant etiological agent of dermatophytoses and to isolate various fungal agents from clinical samples of patients with different mycoses and Clinical samples from 260 patients were subjected to potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination and culture isolation; causative agents were identified macroscopically and microscopically. One hundred sixty three (62.7%) were found to be positive by KOH examination while 132 (50.8%) were culture positive. Dermatophytes were isolated in 90/140 (64.3%) specimens. Trichophyton rubrum (75.5%) was the commonest isolate among the patients suffering from dermatophytoses. Candida spp. and Malassezia furfur were isolated from patient suffering from candidiasis and pityriasis versicolor.
皮肤感染的常见原因是皮肤癣菌和机会性真菌。本研究的目的是寻找皮肤癣菌病的主要病原体，并从不同真菌感染患者的临床样本和临床样本中分离出各种真菌病原体。对 260 名患者的临床样本进行了氢氧化钾（KOH）检查和培养分离；通过肉眼和显微镜鉴定病原体。KOH 检查发现 163 例（62.7%）阳性，132 例（50.8%）培养阳性。在 140 份标本中有 90 份（64.3%）分离出皮肤癣菌。在患有皮肤癣菌病的患者中，最常见的分离株是红色毛癣菌（75.5%）。从患有念珠菌病和花斑癣的患者中分离出了念珠菌属和糠秕马拉色菌。
