Tinea pedis, which is a dermatophytic infection of the feet, can involve the interdigital web spaces or the sides of the feet and may be a chronic or recurring condition. The most common etiological agents are anthropophiles, including Trichophyton rubrum sensu stricto, which is the most common, followed by Trichophyton interdigitale and Epidermophyton floccosum. There has been a change in this research arena, necessitating a re-evaluation of our knowledge on the topic from a multidisciplinary perspective. Thus, this review aimed to provide a solid overview of the current status and changing patterns of tinea pedis. The second half of the twentieth century witnessed a global increase in tinea pedis and a clonal spread of one major etiologic agent, T. rubrum. This phenomenon is likely due to increases in urbanization and the use of sports and fitness facilities, the growing prevalence of obesity and the aging population. For optimal patient care and management, the diagnosis of tinea pedis should be verified by microbiological analysis. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, clinical forms, complications and mycological characteristics of tinea pedis and we highlight the pathogenesis, prevention and control parameters of this infection.
足癣是足部的皮肤癣菌感染,可累及趾间蹼间隙或足部两侧,可能是一种慢性或复发性疾病。最常见的病原体是嗜人癣菌,包括最常见的红色毛癣菌,其次是指间毛癣菌和絮状表皮癣菌。该研究领域已发生变化,有必要从多学科角度重新评估我们对该主题的认识。因此,本综述旨在全面概述足癣的现状和变化模式。20世纪下半叶,全球足癣发病率上升,一种主要病原体红色毛癣菌出现克隆传播。这种现象可能归因于城市化进程加快、体育健身设施的使用、肥胖患病率上升以及人口老龄化。为了实现最佳的患者护理和管理,足癣的诊断应通过微生物学分析来验证。在本综述中,我们讨论了足癣的流行病学、临床类型、并发症和真菌学特征,并强调了这种感染的发病机制、预防和控制参数。
