In a small state like Tripura, a surge in prevalence of superficial dermatophytosis has been observed from April to September among the population of both tribal and non-tribal groups having different lifestyle, different food habit, and different socioeconomic status. Studies from different region reveal varying pattern of etiological distribution of the disease. But till date no research study has been initiated in Tripura on clinicomycological profile of dermatophytosis.
This study was undertaken with the objectives to estimate the proportion of different fungal species associated with dermatophytosis among the patients attending Dermatology Outpatient Department of a Tertiary care hospital of Tripura and also to determine possible association of different clinical parameters with fungal species if any.
A total of three hundred and ninety-one (391) new cases of dermatophytosis attending Dermatology Outpatient Department of a Tertiary care teaching hospital of Tripura were included in this study from June, 2021 to May, 2022. All the specimens were assessed by direct microscopic examination and in vitro culture. Fungi were identified on the basis of their macroscopic and microscopic features with the help of lactophenol cotton blue staining and urease test.
There was a male preponderance among cases and maximum patients belonged to 21-40 years age group. was the most common fungal species (52.1%) grown in culture followed by (26.9%).
In contrast to previous study results from different parts of India, was the most common isolated fungal species from this part of northeast India, and Tinea corporis (41.3%) was the most prominent clinical manifestation of dermatophytosis.
在像特里普拉这样的小邦，4月至9月期间，在生活方式、饮食习惯和社会经济地位各异的部落和非部落人群中，浅表皮肤癣菌病的患病率出现了激增。来自不同地区的研究揭示了该疾病病因分布的不同模式。但迄今为止，特里普拉尚未开展关于皮肤癣菌病临床真菌学特征的研究。
本研究旨在估计特里普拉一家三级护理医院皮肤科门诊患者中与皮肤癣菌病相关的不同真菌种类的比例，并确定不同临床参数与真菌种类之间可能存在的关联（若有的话）。
2021年6月至2022年5月，特里普拉一家三级护理教学医院皮肤科门诊的391例皮肤癣菌病新病例纳入本研究。所有标本均通过直接显微镜检查和体外培养进行评估。借助石炭酸棉蓝染色和尿素酶试验，根据真菌的宏观和微观特征对其进行鉴定。
病例中男性占多数，最大患者群体为21至40岁年龄组。培养出的最常见真菌种类是 （52.1%），其次是 （26.9%）。
与印度不同地区之前的研究结果相反， 是印度东北部该地区分离出的最常见真菌种类，体癣（41.3%）是皮肤癣菌病最突出的临床表现。
